How the "owned by" field is worked?

Hi,

In the “owned by” field of the task form, if multiple owners can be assigned simultaneously to the same task, then what happened? /how it works?

It is not possible to assign multiple owners to work items. The owned by field allows only one user. It is also not a good idea to have multiple owners assigned to a task, because experience shows that in that case no one feals to be the owner. Also the whole planning and reporting assumes that a task is owned and executed by one owner.

You can
  • Split the tasks in multiple child task, one for each owner
  • You can add a custom attribute like "Additional Owners" and make it a user list attribute; note that there is no automation for such a field and it would be basically only information that can be used in queries and dashboards
