Error description

• If there is a group defined with the same name as a value
  of a user attribute, the user task assignment in Process
  Inspector of the Process Designer ignores the Participant
  Groups in the routing condition of the task and all users with
  user attributes set as defined in the routing condition can see
  and claim the task, the Participant Group definition is
  completely ignored. The routing condition for the user task
  assignment is also ignored for email notifications, if enabled.
  

Local fix

• If a user task assignment is done via routing conditions, and
  the routing condition contains a user attribute and there
  exists a group that has the same name as the user attribute,
  the members of this group might incidently be added to the
  routing condition's result. This issue can be seen in the
  process inspector of process designer.
  

Problem conclusion

• With this fix, the algorithm to calculate the routing condition
  result will correctly distinguish between user attribute values
  and group names.
