Anne, I'm experiencing this issue as well but have not had time to research it. The cause that I have found though is this:
1. There are 5 tasks sequenced in order, 1,2,3,4,5 2. Before the Change hits the Scheduled/Implementation stage, the assignee cancels the task in sequence 3 out. 3. For some reason, after 1,2 are done, 4 does not activate and change from Staged to Pending/Assigned. As a temporary workaround, I modified the filter that throws an error when you try to manually take a task from Staged and change it to assigned/pending to exclude me in the Run if Qualification. I simply haven't had time to look into it. If you find anything further, please share J Thanks!

We'll get a user saying that they can't access a given task and what it is is that all the previous tasks are closed, but the rest are all in staged status. Nothing we can do seems to cause these to activate. We have theorized that someone is changing the sequence after the first one has been activated, but we're not sure.
