Error:
Access Denied when we start SharePoint 2010 approval workflow
Troubleshooting:
- From the workflow reports I found an error -" The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information."
- Created a test list without content
- Got the same error on all ootb approval workflow
- Disabled content approval on the list, still got the same issue
- During troubleshooting found – "Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use this workflow to control content approval)" enabled on the workflow
- First disabled it on test workflow as we already have content approval enabled for the list
- Checked workflow behavior
- It worked successfully, so chnaged and applied the same settings to prod workflow
- Once all testing done successfully on test list, implemented the same settings to actual list
Solution and Cause:
- "Update the approval status after the workflow is completed (use this workflow to control content approval)" enabled on the workflow
- Workflows started working by removing check box option from this option
