A task with one or more downstream tasks cannot be unassigned.

A task with one or more downstream tasks cannot be unassigned.

• A. False
• B. Only if downstream tasks are completed
• C. True
• D. Only if upstream tasks are reassigned

Answer: (C)

In Field Service Management, tasks are often linked so that downstream tasks depend on the progress and ownership of upstream tasks. If the upstream task is unassigned, there’s no accountable resource to drive the workflow, coordinate the handoffs, or update the status for the dependent work. To maintain accountability and a clear flow, the system prevents unassigning a task that has downstream tasks. So the statement is true: a task with one or more downstream tasks cannot be unassigned.
