Workflow moving forward despite tasks not completed
0

Hi,

I have a situation where multiple users get assigned tasks on a certain path. The parallelism is set to Completion - All. It mostly work fine. But if certain users complete their task before other users do, the workflow goes into the next step, despite other user tasks not being completed. When I look at the element history, when other users finish their task, "Completion - All" and their name is logged. But when these "special users" finish their task, it logs "Information (editing allowed)" and their name. The workflow then goes into the next step?

Any ideas?

Thank you!

I asked not about creating a task, but about the path that users exist from the step (finish task)?. Is this the same path or are there multiple exist paths?

Hi Jacek,

There are 3 paths from that step:
-Save, which loops back into the same step
-Back to previous step
-Confirm, which users are supposed to use to complete the task.

Users use the confirm button and in most cases, it works fine. For some people, it transitions into the next step.

Thanks

Hi,

The save step has task creation set to "Completion - All" and Parameters set to "Wait for required tasks to be completed" and number of required "All".

Also, up until the point where the workflow started to act funny, no one used the Save path.

Thanks!

Hi Mark,

what you encountered is one of two reasons, I created a form rule to add a "virtual" path button which simulates a click on the save action.
