Hi Folks,
We're experiencing an issue with a custom workflow designed in VS2008 see below for details: Summary of Issue: Workflow running on a Form Library in SharePoint. The workflow creates Tasks on the default Task list in the Site. No fields have been edited from default settings on this Task list. We are seeing a recurring issue with Tasks locking in Workflows. The error we see is as follows: "This task is currently locked by a running workflow and cannot be edited" The Task seems to complete correctly but the Progress % field or the Status does not get properly updated. When the Lock occurs we see a long pause when the user clicks on the Approve button on their Task. The workflow does not progress but stays in the "In Progress" state. The Task that is locked cannot be edited outside the running workflow so the only option is to terminate the running workflow. This is not acceptable because there are many steps in the workflow and it seems the lock can happen at any of the stages. We have checked the following and all seem to be correct or not connected to this issue: Permissions Content Types Database locks We can see here <http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointworkflow/thread /8ec834b6-5408-4079-bdfb-b88d341b36bf> , here <http://geekswithblogs.net/MTex/archive/2008/03/01/120117.aspx> and here <http://geek.hubkey.com/2007/09/locked-workflow.html> that other people are having similar. None of the steps outlined in those posts fix the issue we are seeing.
