Diagnosis

When a task group is assigned to a different task group or role, the system determines whether the object to be assigned (which can also contain other objects) triggers recursion.

This is the case if creating the relationship leads to the same task group occurring more than once in a hierarchical structure.

System Response

The system prevents you from creating the relationship.

Procedure

Make sure that the object to be assigned, and/or its hierarchically subordinate objects, do not occur in the object hierarchy currently being processed.
