Add the ability to assign bulk tasks to 'contact owner' when using the 'create task' function

When using 'create tasks' from the contact page it currently only gives the option to assign to a specific user.

It would be great if you could select 'contact owner' rather than a specific user. Currently I need to do a duplicate batch of tasks for each owner, and tasks I create are almost always for the contacts owner rather than a specific person.

I second this. I need to create tasks for our sales reps for specific lists, however I am unable to select the Contact owner. Same with when I enrol into a task based sequence, it assigns the tasks to me, rather than the Contact owner.

This is a really essential function - if you want the company or contact owner to follow up a campaign, you have to manually select the individual's name. You should be able to set the task owner as the company/contact owner.
