I have a workflow that has a parallel action which contains multiple request review actions. Sometimes a request review action will be set to a cancelled state for no apparent reason. Whenever this happens the workflow will not continue it just hangs and never exits the parallel action. What could be causing this? Below is my workflow showing the request review was cancelled, but it never actually changed states in the change state action. Any help is appreciated

Hi,

I am sorry I do not have a resolution for you but in my experience you are asking for trouble running a parallel action inside a state machine.
They just dont seem to play well together.

@SimonMuntz any suggestions on what to replace a parallel action with? It happens anytime I use a parallel action.

Do you have to use a State Machine?
Can you have a state Machine and then when it gets to this bit of the workflow the State Machine exits and then the parallel actions run and after that the WF enters a State Machine again and keep going.
