I am getting error in sharepoint designer workflow. Error is :The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information - access denied

This error always occurs when user with contribute access add item. Error does not occurs when user with admin access add.

How to solve this. I cannot elevate access from contribute to admin.

I have used "set field in current item" 2 place
