Description

For the upcoming A/B test, we will target all users and not just newly registered ones. However, that means that many users in the treatment group will not have Revise Tone enabled by default.

So, we need to find some way to enable the Revise Tone task for users in the treatment group that already have been to the Homepage before. However, that should happen only once: if a user manually unselects the Revise Tone task, then it should stay unselected.

Acceptance Criteria

Users in the treatment group get Revise Tone added to their select tasks once during their next visit to the homepage

This might be a bit tricky to verify:

on beta, create an account that either got sorted into the control group, or switch the new account to the control group by executing ge.utils.setUserVariant('growthexperiments-revise-tone_control') before the first visit to the Homepage.
Go to the Homepage and explicitly change your selected task types to something other than the default
switch to the treatment group by executing ge.utils.setUserVariant('growthexperiments-revise-tone_treatment') (this should trigger a page reload)
=> now also the "Revise tone" task should be selected on the Homepage
unselect the "Revise tone" task
reload the Homepage
=> the "Revise tone" task should remain not selected

I can confirm that this works for users in the treatment group according to the instructions you have given above.
