"The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for
the item require a different type of information"
I would like shortly describe issue that I faced few days ago and that I can not solve. Some additional information:
1. I have a list, let's call it "Request List", and couple of related libraries that have documents related to this list;
2. In Request List I have lookup columns that link libraries and list;
3. I use set of workflows connected to list items:
-1 general workflow that starts when item changes;
-"other workflows" are started from the body of general using "start workflow" action;
4. Need of workflow start is defined by flags (wich are list columns). Access to items is made using InfoPath forms and some actions on the form set specific flags.
5. "other workflows" create documents in document libraries using content types and launches approval process.
And I have following issue:
Some times (about in the 30 percent of cases) workflow ends with error mentioned in title of this topic.
As I understand error occures in "Update item" actions. For example one particular action copy "Document type" field value from document librariy to the same list field. Those particular data were definetly not changed. If I terminate errored workflow and start it one more time it can be completed normaly but then can produce error after couple of launches.
Thanks in advance if somebody could help me
