I want to assign a employee to a task:

request.env['project.task'].sudo().with_context(check_move_validity=False).create({

 'name': task['name'], 

'description': task['desc'], 

'project_id': project_id, 

'user_id': get_or_create_employee('John Doe')  

})

def get_or_create_employee(employee_name):

    e_exists = request.env['hr.employee'].search([('name', '=', employee_name)]) 

    if e_exists: 

        employee_id = e_exists.id 

    else: 

        new_employee =     request.env['hr.employee'].sudo().with_context(check_move_validity=False).create({

 'name': employee_name

}) 

        employee_id = new_employee.id 

    return employee_id

The new employee is created but not assigned to the task.

Instead the Administrator is assigned to the task.

I get no errors.

Thank you
