Problem

With "competing assignment" it is expected, that assigned users have to approve the job and then other assigned users will be deleted from the job (first come first served). This works well for the first job in a workflow translation-review. However, for the review job it will not work: User can access the job "read-only" but they cannot approve the job unless the preceding one (translation) is finished. But the idea is to assign multiple reviewers, who will be able to approve the job even before the translation is finished.

Steps to reproduce

Assign 2 translators to translation step with competing assignment

Assign 2 reviewers to review step with competing assignment.

Try to approve review job as one of the reviewers.

Solution

Make the behavior the same for all jobs in the workflow chain: assigned users can access the job in read-only, they can then approve, this will delete and notify the other competing assignments.
