BPM Workspace User view related issue

Question

PROBLEM SUMMARY_
Unable to see filtering options like SEARCH, ASSIGNEE and STATE in User View, I am able to see this in Generic Inbox of BPM workspace
DETAILED DESCRIPTION_
I am new to BPM & need some assistance on below scenario-
TASKS INVOLVED-*
My BPM process contains 2 tasks
1.     Initiator task-[Part of Requester role in my JDev Swim lane]
2.     User Task-To review the request-[Part of Reviewer role in my JDev Swim lane]
SCENARIO-+
Flow would be something like, requester enters details in request message & says submit. If request message length is less than 6 characters a review would be required & therefore process flow would go to reviewer task. Reviewer can Approve or Reject the request, if he approves the process will write the request message contents to a file, if the reviewer Rejects the request, requester task would be created again so as to ask requester to enter a message of length>6.
If entered request message is having length greater than 6, no review would be required. It will be a direct file write.
CHALLENGE-+
The challenge is each of these tasks –Initiator task & Review task would be created with DIFFERENT task numbers in BPM workspace, which I do NOT want. I want the Requester tasks task number to be propagated to Reviewer task and I would want to populate this as task number (May be under different column, say Request Id) of Reviewer task as well.
After reading Oracle BPM docs, I studied that this can achieved using Human tasks-Mapped variable concept.
I used protected mapped variable/flex variable:*Request Id* in both the above tasks to achieve this.
PROBLEM-*
Problem is in BPM workspace’s user view, here we go-
I created a user view:*HelloWorld* to display the task details, the columns I want are the default columns+Column for mapped attribute:*Request Id*.
Now even though the Request Id column is populated as expected, I cannot filter the View entries based on Assignee, State or perform any kind of other searches.
I understand that User views are built based basically on certain filters itself. But post the view creation if user has to make a search-say based on Mapped attribute:*Request Id* in this case, he won’t be able to do so.
This defeats the entire purpose of Mapped attributes. Oracle document says (check the last bullet point)-
+"Human workflow mapped attributes (formerly referred to as flex fields) store and query use case-specific custom attributes. These custom attributes typically come from the task payload values. Storing custom attributes in mapped attributes provides the following benefits:+
+•     They can be displayed as a column in the task listing+
+•     They can filter tasks in custom views and advanced searches+
*+•     They can be used for a keyword-based search"+*
So is this a bug with user views in workspace?
One more thing that I would like to add-Reason behind using Custom user views is-
1)     Generic Inbox of BPM Workspace does not give option to make the mapped attribute get displayed/Searched
2)     I want to customize the Tasklist.

Oh well...
It seems there's a bug with the XE Database... Sometimes it freezes some components and the SOA Plataform goes crazy.
Simple system reboot solved.
