Where is user by assign to from worfklow?

Question

Hello guys, 
 I cannot found the property with user which have assigned object by workflow.- not object type Assign to (10) 
 I try see "all" by this script in automatic value: 
 For i=-2000 To 2000
&#160; If PropertyValues.IndexOf(i) > -1 Then
&#160; &#160; If not PropertyValues.SearchForProperty(i).TypedValue.IsNULL() Then
&#160; &#160; &#160; objFile.Write CStr(i) & " : " & CStr(PropertyValues.SearchForProperty(i).TypedValue.DisplayValue) & vbCrLf
&#160; &#160; End If
&#160; End If
Next 
 I thought, the property 44 (MFBuiltInPropertyDefAssignedTo) has the value, but it's empty - no in "objFile". 
 Where is info about assing to user? 
 Thanks, 
 O.

Where do you have that script? Automatic value on the object that is in the workflow? The automatic values are calculated before assignment the object is assigned so the value is not there yet 
 https://www.m-files.com/user-guide/latest/eng/execution_order_of_scripts.html 
 ------- The user modifies the property values and changes the workflow state of an object:

The BeforeCheckOut event 
 The AfterCheckOut event 
 The BeforeSetProperties event 
 Property value validation 
 Calculating automatic property values <- The value is calculated here 
 The AfterSetProperties event 
 The BeforeCheckInChanges event 
 Previous workflow state postconditions 
 New workflow state preconditions 
 Workflow state actions <- The assignment is added here 
 The BeforeCheckinChangesFinalize event 
 The AfterCheckInChanges event 
 The AfterCheckInChangesFinalize event 
 The BeforeReturnView event 
 
 -------- 
 If you do any versioning for the object, do you then see the assigned to values in the script?

When an object is assigned in a workflow to a user, that user is added to "Assigned to" (44) -property. If a separate assignment is used, the object will refer to the assignment via "Workflow assignment" (79) -property, which will have the "Assigned to" -property. When the object moves from the from that state where the assignment is set or if user marks the assignment "as complete", "Assigned to" will be emptied, and thus it can be empty.
