Change state of ECO to 'Cancelled'

Hi expert, Currently, workflow of ECO is set as below: Start -> Submit ECO -> Planning -> Make Change -> Close Change in 'Submit ECO' stage in workflow, a user can cancel ECO. Then, state of ECO changes to 'Cancelled'. But, I also want a user to change state of ECO to 'Cancelled' in 'Planning' stage in workflow in ECO by connecting 'Planning' to 'Cancelled' stage. And then, I tried to do it by creating new C# method which will be triggered when a user select cancel in voting. What C# method does is to search ECO and update 'state' field with 'Cancelled'. But, it didn't workflow.(because of permission issue ?) Would you help how to easily do this? Thank you so much.
  • Is this a self created ECO or is this a modification of the existing Simple ECO or Express ECO? For promotion of the ECO itself, you don´t need any additional Method! The ECO promotion can be set in the Promotion tab in the ECO workflow. Select your "Cancel" Activity and add an additional relationship for your new transition there. Additional Methods in the Lifecycle can be used, to promote related Items like Parts. Express ECO e.g. uses the Method PE_ChangeItemTransition or Simple MCO uses PE_MCOAffectedPartPromotion.
