Mass Recasting Tasks
A Template Author can inject changes from one version of the Template simultaneously into all the Tasks running on different versions of the Template.
The user running the Task is notified of the Task Recast.
A Mass Recast can happen on any Task that has been started by the user at least once. The Task can be in any of the three statuses - Started, Error or Done.
Note
The Template Author can Mass Recast Tasks to any version of the Template, including an older version of the same Template.
