[OGo-Developer] referredPerson in tasks

Hi,

while working on getting the extended Task attributes to work, I stumbled 
across the referredPerson, that can be enabled via a Default, unfortunately 
in the code I only found a lot of TODO: document ;)
For me it seems, this feature is intended to be able to open a task, on 
behalf of a different person, like a helpdesk would do, and then save it in 
the obj_properties table in the database. Is this feature supposed to work?
I enabled the Default, but in the LSWJobEditor.m method, where it decided 
whether to show the Collapsible or not, it evaluates self->referredPerson, 
and if it is empty, then the collapsible is not shown. 
As it is always empty when I want to create task, and later on editing, I 
wonder, how was/is it intended to set the referredPerson? Or was this just 
not implemented, if so, I'd go add this, as I think it might be useful.
I'd add sth. comparable as it is done for the executant selection, so, any 
objections on that?

kind regards
Sebastian
