Are 2013 (not 2010) Reusable Workflows allowed to use Assign A Task action?

Question

I would like to make a reusable 2013 workflow that can assign an approval task. The Assign A Task action is not available in Sharepoint Designer 2013 and the Workflow Tasks list setting is not available on the properties page for a reusable workflow. Is this by design? I do see Assign a Task for 2013 list workflows and I see the Workflow Tasks setting, as well. I have configured my SharePoint environment for App Permissions and granted them (using the guid permission) to Workflow.

Answer 1

Does this issue occur on all sites or just one site? In my testing, I could use "Assign a task" action in a SharePoint 2013 reusable workflow, and set its properties.

Did you use App Step for this action? Please try to add it just into a Stage and compare the result.

You can try it on different sites and compare the result.

In addition, please provide a screenshot about Action when clicking it.
