How do I update the Actor by cases and not by process?

Q&A
1

Hello,

I'm having some troubles when I want to update the Actor of a case with the ActorUpdater and apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().updateActor(long actorId, ActorUpdater actorUpdater).

It seems that it can only update the Actor for the whole process, thus active cases are all updated to the new Actor.

Is there a way to update the actor just for the current case, and not modifying the others?

For more context, I just want to change the displayName of the actor :

def actorInitiator = apiAccessor.processAPI.getActorInitiator(processDefinitionId);
def actorUpdater = new ActorUpdater();

actorUpdater.setDisplayName("My new Actor name");

apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().updateActor(actorInitiator.getId(), actorUpdater);
 

Thanks for your replies :)
