In promotions tab of an activity of a workflow map, all values i inputted as following
Event (On Activate), ItemType (Part), Life Cycle (My defined Life Cycle), From State (New), To State (Submitted), Role (World)
Note: Is above setting means if current activity is activated so the related part life cycle state will transit from New to Submitted?
In my own defined life cycle in each transition had been setted World role.
Actually even the part passed from the activity, it's life cycle state still be in 'New' and no any life cycle state changed.
What problem is?

Is the Workflow attached to the Part or some other ItemType (like ECR, etc.)? You can tell by opening the Part and going to Views -> Workflow. If there are no workflows shown in the list that pops up, then the Workflow is not attached to the Part. The Promotions tab will only work for the item that the Workflow is directly attached to (also called the controlled item). If you need to promote related items, the only way to do it currently is via method code. See Method "Affected Item Promotion" for an example.
