I'm getting an error on my workflow task (custom workflow with custom task page). Its been working without any problems for a while. The workflow states Completed but the associated task is not completed. I've noticed the task percent complete is equal to 101. Dont know if this is has anything to do with problem.

I've found some resources that talk about too many workflows running or custom task forms. http://geekswithblogs.net/JayantSharma/archive/2012/07/02/this-task-is-currently-locked-by-a-running-workflow-and.aspx

Does anyone have any experience on this issue ?

I've looked at the log files:

    Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: This task is currently locked by a running workflow and cannot be edited.   
 at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.PrepareItemForUpdate(SPWeb web, Boolean bMigration, Boolean& bAdd, Boolean& bPublish, Object& objAttachmentNames, Object& objAttachmentContents, Int32& parentFolderId)

UPDATE: In SP Manager I located the task that failed to close. This is part of XML field: ows_owshiddenversion='21' ows_WorkflowVersion='512' ows_UIVersion='512' ows_UIVersionString='1.0' ows_Attachments='0'

Can i edit here and change ows_WorkflowVersion='512' to ows_WorkflowVersion='1' ?

Check the Update statement.

`task[SPBuiltInFieldId.WorkflowVersion] = 1;`
`task.SystemUpdate();`

  • Hi Where do I put the Update statement? The list has a custom workflow running and there are several instances already running of workflow. I dont want to update and re-deploy the workflow. Is this powershell script ? Can you supply more info pls? Oct 31, 2012 at 7:53
