Change assigned user with a Flow / Action

Unknown

We are using a flow execution extension and we are creating assignment.
We want to be able to define an action so that the user can reassign/ associate the assignment with a different user.
How can this be done?

Ive attached an example export here that you can take a look at.*
The export demonstrates a user action that can be either performed on assignments or process folders that allows reassigning the associated task to a specified user.

The example contains two possible methods to accomplish this, you can use one or both depending on your needs.
Both methods require the same step, "[b]Set Assignment for Accounts[/b]" (alternatively, using “Remove Assignment” step followed by “Add Assignment” step would function the same)

These steps are found in the toolbox under [b]Integration[/b] > [b]Internal Services[/b] > [b]Assignment[/b].
The “[b]Set Assignment for Accounts[/b]” step simply takes a list of account IDs and an assignment ID, and then reassigns the assignment from the assignee to the accounts.

Method 1[/b] adds a user action to the Flow Execution Extension/Process Folder that allows task reassignment.

This user action flow has access to the associated process folder data.
The flow can use a “Fetch Entities” step to fetch the “Assignment” (see below image)

[b]Method 2[/b] adds a user action to the Decisions "Assignment" entity itself, using an "Entity Configuration Extension". How to do this is seen below:

This allows us to create a configuration folder for a pre-existing type, i.e. "Assignments"/ "Accounts" etc, so that assignments in an inbox could also have this action.
This user action flow has access to the assignment’s ID, [b]Entity.AssignmentID[/b], which can then simply be passed to the “Set Assignment for Accounts” step.
