On ITSM 7.6.4, we have Work Orders and Tasks being generated by Service
Requests. The users have requested that the Work Orders be activated on
creation to save time (no review is necessary of them). To do this, I added a
filter that looks for a flag field ('WO Type Field 30' = "In Progress") and if
found, sets the Status to "In Progress". This is working fine, except when the
Work Order has tasks attached, and those tasks are set to notify the assignee,
four notifications are being generated for each task assigned. While the
notifications are for the same task, the 'eid' for each is different. Here is
an example of four notifications:

You have been assigned Task TAS000000000513
Task Type: Manual
Priority: Medium
Summary: Complete data entry
When I create a Work Order manually, only one notification is sent. I also
tried disabling the flag field on one of the requests, submitting, and then
manually activating the Work Order - again, only one notification was generated.
It seems to me that there may be some kind of timing issue, some code involved
in generating the tasks that is mistakenly run several times but that normally
doesn't activate anything else noticeable. If anyone's worked with or noticed
this before, please let me know.
Alternate ideas on automating the WO activation are also acceptable (and
appreciated ;^)!
