What is the 'Custom Type' field for on a Workflow User Task actually used for — it doesn't appear to be documented anywhere?

All FAQ questions / Workflows and automation

Answer

It isn't actually implemented or used in the IFS context — 'Custom Type' is inherited from the underlying open-source workflow/BPMN library the workflow designer is built on, but IFS hasn't given it any functional meaning within IFS Cloud workflows, so it can safely be left alone/ignored on a User Task.

Documentation-based answer. Confirm the product and release before applying it. This answer has not been verified in an IFS environment.
