I'm working on implementing the the workflow launch example into a new item type that I have created. I have changed the method to point to the workflow. Everything looks to be setup correctly. When I click the launch workflow button and then click save, I get an error saying Aras.Server.Core.ItemIsLockedException. Any ideas on what is causing this error? Thank you for your help.

Hi Josh,

Christoffer,
Yes the issue is when I click the launch workflow check box and then click save. If I uncheck the launch workflow box, I can save and unlock like normal. The only things I changed in the method are which action and which workflow to point to. The workflow launch example works great. Below is the method that I'm using. I'm not sure what I'm overlooking. Thank you for your help.
' Workflow Launch Example
' Demonstrates the launching of a workflow from a server event
' Continue only if the launch_workflow property is set to true or if the method was called from the Action
If (Me.getProperty("launch_workflow","0") <> 1 AndAlso Me.getAction() <> "Deviation Workflow Launch") Then
Return Me
End If
' Find the Workflow Map
Dim inn As Innovator = Me.newInnovator()
Dim wflMapName As String = "Deviation Workflow Launch"
Dim wflMap As Item = inn.getItemByKeyedName("Workflow Map",wflMapName)
If wflMap Is Nothing Or wflMap.getID().Length <> 32 Then
Return inn.newError("Unable to retrieve Workflow Map '" & wflMapName & "'")
End If
' Instantiate and start the workflow
Dim wfl As Item = Me.instantiateWorkflow(wflMap.getID())
If wfl.isError() Then
Return inn.newError("Error instantiating workflow: " & wfl.getErrorDetail())
End If
wfl.startWorkflow()

I found out what my issue was. I had a workflow promotion inside the first step of the workflow. Therefore it was trying to change the Lifecycle state and that cant be done unless the item is unlocked.
