Why does my approved list item continue to switch to pending?

So I've created a basic workflow in SP Designer 2010.
When the workflow is completed, the "Approval Status" changes to "Approved" as it should. However, the "Approval Status" then changes back to "Pending". I can't figure out what is causing this unexpected change back
to "Pending" I've posted a video of what is happening on the list, and I've posted an image of the workflow here. http://www.thesharepointhelper.blogspot.com/2014/02/blog-post.html

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the Approval Status changed back to Pending after the workflow completed.
I tested the same scenario per your post, and the Approval Status column didn’t change back to Pending after the workflow completed.
If we edit any column of the item in the list, the Approval Status column will change back to Pending.
I recommend to check if there are any other workflows or event receivers that change the items in the list.
Best regards.
Thanks

    Texting on iPhone 5.  When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order?  This really slows you down when trying to contact 50 people with information.  iPhone 4 worked just fine.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures.  Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
    No, that's just wasting space.  A back up needs to be on a different disk.
    Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

  • Why does  ArrayList implement List when extending AbstractList

    Hi
    I am unable to understand why would the ArrayList class implement the List interface, when it is already extending the AbstarctList class. If anyone can explain, it would be a great help.

    Why does ArrayList implement List when extendingAbstractList
    It is a question of style. ArrayList'simplementing
    List is a crucial piece of information, whereasits
    extending AbstractList is a kind of implementation
    detail. If would not matter much to the user if it
    did not extend AbstractList but implemented List
    directly.So why don't those subclasses of ArrayList step up
    and implement List again? I agree, extending
    ArrayList is an implementation detail, and in fact
    perhaps they should have made ArrayList a field
    rather than a superclass...Because those subclasses job is not to be a List but to be an extension of ArrayList. In general if you wanted to be a List you would be extending AbstractList. You don't just implement List because you happen to have the right methods, you implement List because you feel being a List is part of that classes main behavior.
    Its a suttle point but I feel its more than a matter of style. Its a matter of correctness.
    Also, ArrayList could use composition by having an AbstractList member within itself. In this case it would implement List as well and achieve the same result. Letting users know it intends to fill the role of a List.

  • Why does audio books list by chapter instead of books?

    Why does audio books list by chapter instead of by book ?

    Perhaps I should have given more detail. The device works the way it works. Listing every chapter is part of the normal behaviour, and often not in a useful order which is the main thrust of that article. However it does point out that you can use one of the various free/cheap tools available to stitch the individual files into a single audiobook file which is what iDevices really expect to receive.
    Alternatively you could use a smart playlist which matches a particular title and only includes files with a play count of zero to make it easier to locate the current chapter. I don't recall ever trying this so I'll have a go and see how it works out.

  • Why does ArrayList "implement" List, when it extends AbstractList?

    I never noticed this before, and so i was wondering if there's a good explanation for it: If you look at how ArrayList is defined, you'll see this:
    ===
    public class ArrayList
    extends AbstractList
    implements List, RandomAccess, Cloneable, Serializable
    ===
    But AbstractList, which ArrayList extends, already implements List, like this:
    ===
    public abstract class AbstractList
    extends AbstractCollection
    implements List
    ===
    So, why does ArrayList list List in the list of implements? (that's kind of a confusing sentence, read it twice) By extending AbstractList, it's already clear that it implements List - now it's like it's implementing it twice (which doesn't hurt of course, but it doesn't help either.) This seems inconsistent with other parts of the API, where usually in cases like this (with an abstract class being extended) the interface isn't listed again in the final concrete class. For instance:
    public class TitledBorder
    extends AbstractBorder
    and:
    public abstract class AbstractBorder
    extends Object
    implements Border, Serializable
    but:
    TiledBorder doesn't mention Border in its (non-existent) list of implements.
    Any ideas?
    -- Niek

    Surely enough the AbstractList
    takes care of all the burden (like I wrote before),
    but the ArrayList (re)implements the List interface
    for
    very sound reasons. If it didn't, the
    o.getClass().getInterfaces() would've missed the List
    interface,Since AbstractList implements List, ArrayList has an implicit "implements List." However, as you say, getInterfaces() doesn't produce that.
    So you're saying that the VM has to do something different to find the method? I don't think so. The compiler may have to work harder, but in both cases, the VM does an invokeinterface. The javap output looks the same in a copule of test classes I created.
    public interface I1 {
        public void i1Meth();
        public void i1Meth2();
    public abstract class IA implements I1 {
        public void i1Meth() {}
    public class IC1 extends IA implements I1 {
        public void i1Meth2() {}
        void dummy() {
            I1 i1 = new IC1();
            i1.i1Meth();
            i1.i1Meth2();

  • Why does my HP ENVY 7640 continually shut down in the middle of printing?

    Why does my HP ENVY 7640 All-in-One printer continually shut down right in the middle of printing?

    Hi @JE66,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Envy 7640 is continually shutting down during the middle of printing. I am happy to look into this for you!
    Please, take a look through the steps within this guide, The HP Printer Does Not Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed. (Even though the guide title may not match your issue, I believe the solutions will help.) Also I would suggest to watch this video:
    It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. See this article, Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    Afterwards, I would also make sure that the printer's firmware is up-to-date. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
    Hope this solves your problem, and have a great day!

  • Where does the approver list  fro sc get populated????

    Hello everyone,
      It will be really helpful , if some one can guide me.  i am using a copied (custom)version of ws10000031 for shopping cart approvals. the standard workflow is for two level approval. there is some problem with this custom workflow now. it is not identifying the rite agents . where should i look for to find out where the approver list is getting populated. I am unable to pinpoint a place where the agents are being identified. moreover for two level approvals, i cannot see the second approver name inthe cart status.
    also even after switching on the event trace , i cannot see any event getting triggered inthe trace but i c workitems generated.is this common??
    help would be appreciated.
    thank you

    hi Disha,
    Thanks for ur reply, but i had already done those steps .as i said i am using a copied version of the wf so i have assigned it to an expression &agent_0001.agent& and &agent_0002.agent&. that is what is there in the standard workflow too. my problem is i want to know where this container element is getting populated, since i am going to modify this workflow, i need to know this information. i have tried many different approaches but still cannot find it. it will be great if u can tell me whether this happens in any BADi or it happens inthe bsp code or where ???
    or is it the adhoc agent assignment where this agent assignmetn is taking place?
    because i can see the approval list inthe approval preview inthe cart status screen. i am wondering where and when this apporoval list is being generated???
    thanks once again for the reply.

  • Why does my iphone list our other devices in the bluetooth settings and what does the symbol at the bottom left hand corner of my lock screen mean?

    I just upgraded by iPhone 5s to ios 8.  Now I see my wife's IPhone 6 and our Ipad Air, which I also upgraded to IOS 8.  Why does it do that.  Also, when my phone is on the lock screen, and someone access safari on the ipad, I see a symbol at the bottom left corner of my phone screen.  What is that for?

    I am searching for answers to this as well. My daughter and I just started seeing what looks like a message bubble or a safari tab in the left corner Of the lock screen. We can also see something in the multitasking area.  If I am on safari, she sees the icon and can touch it. It takes her to the safari page I am looking at!  Also, I was typing in a group message, she touched the icon and it created a group message to those same people on her Phone.  can just anyone invade my privacy like this? Or is it just because we are linked somehow? Can I turn this off?

  • Why does my ipod list songs in not the right order

    why does my ipod choose to mix the playing order of an album. no matter how many times i remove it from my ipod, when i put the album back on, it is played in a jumbled up order. i have asked itunes but they are ignoring me.

    It's likely that your iPod's headphone jack needs replacing.  You can opt to have Apple fix it for a pretty hefty price or you can look for a 3rd party repair company to do it instead.
    Either way, it might not be a bad idea to bring it into your local Apple store to see if there is anything they can do for you.

  • Why does the download list keep emptying?

    I have set the preference to empty the download list manually. And it used to work fine until a few weeks ago. But now, every time I close Safari, the download list empties and the download button disappears, until the next time I download something
    Why is this happening, and what can I do about it? I definitely want the items to remain in the list until I remove them, and I'm sure that I have set the preference correctly.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Safari/Downloads.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • Why does my bookmark list seem to forget all of my bookmarks, then remember them later?

    In Safari, I have established several bookmarks of frequently visited sites...
    Most times they are there, but sometimes they are not.
    Does anyone know why, and more importantly, how to fix this?
    Thanks, and happy Thanksgiving!

    But what kind of textbook is going to tell me to make unordered list, but give me css's that won't allow them to properly display?
    What happens is that when I format a list as an unordered list, all of the items are indented together as one item, and there is no bullet.  Also, ordered lists do the same thing.  Does anyone have any idea what is going on?  To give an example :
    Seasonal Gardening Checklist
    Fall – The time to plant trees and spring-blooming bulbs. Take the time to clean the leaves and dead foliage from your beds and lawn.Winter – The time to prune fruit trees and finish planting your bulbs. Don’t forget to water young trees when the ground is dry.Spring – The time to prepare your beds, plant annuals, and apply fertilizer to established plants. Remember to mulch to maintain moisture and prevent weed growth.Summer – The time to supplement rainfall so that plants get one inch of water per week. Plant your vegetable garden and enjoy bountiful harvests until late fall.
    This is what the list looks like, but each bold word is supposed to be a bulleted item.
    That doesnt look like you have any <li></li> tags in your code at all...have you taken a look?

  • Why does itunes and other media continue to play when i close the lid on my macbook pro 2011???

    Hey, I am new to mac and still getting used to it (making the transition from windows), its amazing! Anyhow, I cannot figure out why my itunes and other media like youtube or a film on vlc player continues to play once the lid has been closed. I thought that when i close the lid the macbook should then sleep. It does everytime when there is nothing playing. The little white light on the bottom right hand corner of the book is on but music continues to play.
    The sleep option always works. If I press the power button and choose the option sleep it does so etcc.
    Is this normal and am I just being stupid or is there a problem??
    I bought the laptop from ebay, its a macbook pro late 2011 17inch. I dont have apple support and might have to make a trip into London to the mac store however I was hoping someone can help me...    
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Thanks if you can it is muc appreciated....!!

    hey, thanks for the reply. I don't know to be perfectly honest. When I close the lid without any music playing it sleeps fine. How could I check?
    So basically I pressed the power button and pressed sleep. The laptop turned off and the little white light turned on no problem. I did the same thing with closing the lid and it went to sleep no problem. (Can you confirm that when the little white light is on it means the laptop is sleeping)??.
    I then had itunes playing and pressed the power button and when i pressed sleep the music paused then 6 seconds later it went to sleep. I then had itunes playing and closed the lid and the music kept on playing even though the white light was on.

  • Why does my contact list not print properly?

    I have printed out a contact list for an album of pictures, but it doesn't print them in the order I have selected to view them, i.e. by title alphabetically.  Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can do this? They appear to be in no order at all.

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, verify the sort in the album and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
