Can I update a different item than the workflow is running on?

did the error give you anymore info than that?

what type is varID?

No, the error did not give anymore information.

Prior to the Update Item action, I do a Query List to pick up the ID of the item I want to update.  I save this ID in a variable called varID (Number format).  

What if you use list item ID type for your variable?

I created a new variable with a type of List Item ID.  I still get an error message - "An error has occurred in Request Approval".  Do you have any other ideas? 

Can you show us your workflow and configuration of the actions. It might not be the update action causing the issue... 

Sure, Please see images below of workflow, 3 enabled steps and Workflow Variables.  If the images are too small, let me know.  Thanks for your help.

Hi Cassy,

Any thoughts on what the issue may be?

Hello ‌ - 

It looks like you are attempting to update a TASK item, does your workflow have permissions to edit the task item?

Also, check to ensure that your ID variable is returning the proper data. You can insert Log to history actions within your workflow and output variables to check. This might help to pinpoint if it is a data issue or something else.

Hope this helps!

Jesse and Cassy,

Thank you for helping me with this issue.  I do have permissions to update the task item.  The problem was, I was using the wrong Task ID.  I am all set now.  Thanks to both of you!
