Unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance

Question

I had a workflow and library working with no issues, but had to move the library and export the workflow to another subsite (though on the same web site/collection).  I followed these how-tos:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee428301%28v=office.15%29.aspx
Anyway, I've stripped all actions from the workflow and only have an Assign Task, but get this below:
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance. Exception details: System.ArgumentException: ContentTypeId at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context) at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance
instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation)
To troubleshoot, I removed all library columns, removed then re-added the Custom Content type the New Document uses, and still the same error - with the workflow going into Suspended mode.
I also tried the removal of the file from /Relationships%20List/allitems.aspx and de-activating then re-activating the SharePoint Publishing feature, also that didn't work.
I've gone into ULS, but unable to find anything definitive, so not sure what to try next?
Thank you,
Chad

Hi Chad,
Glad to hear the issue is resolved. Content types could be used for multiple lists in SharePoint site at the same time.
However, I'm not quite sure why you said the resolution is for a "bug". I read the article per your link:
http://www.andrewconnell.com/blog/SP2013-Workflow-Custom-Task-Outcomes
The article is showing how to create custom outcomes buttons in task forms. As I understand, the issue you encountered is that workflow migrated from the other site shows the suspended status.
Please be more specific on the issue if assistance is needed. If this is the second question, I’d recommend you open another thread in the relevant forum and provide specific information about the issue. In order to avoid confusion and keep track of troubleshooting
steps, we usually troubleshoot one issue per thread in order to find a resolution efficiently.
Thanks for the understanding.
