SharePoint 2013 Workflow set Date don't work with other user

Question

I created a workflow.

We got a Status in the Workflow like (if Status 1 Email to xy)

One of this steps is.

If Status equals 5 
Set End Date to Today
then send an email to xy.

If User A creates the Task and set the status to 5 everything works fine. The End Date will be set right and the email goes out.

But if User A creates the Task and User B changes the Status to 5 the End Date won't be set and the Email will not be sent. The Workflow suspends.

Please help me. it drives me insane.

/edit I solved the Problem. I created a spereate 2010 Workflow for the steps to set the End Date. Now it seems to work without Problems :)

Answer 1

It looks like a permission issue in Workflow History list and Task List so to overcome it follow the mentioned steps below :

• Navigate to the site that the workflow is on in SharePoint 2013 Designer. Go to All Files -> Lists
• Right click on Workflow History
• Select Properties
• Click on Permissions for this list under the ‘Customization’ section (This should open up the edit permissions page in the browser)
• Break inheritance on this list by selecting Stop Inheriting Permissions in the new opened browser window
• Use the check box next to the appropriate group (probably the visitor's group) to select the group that needs to be updated permissions
• Select Edit User Permissions
• Grant the group ‘Contribute’ permissions
• Select OK.

Repeat the above steps for the associated workflow task list .
