Issue
When submitting a task from a Direct Execution workflow output table or directly from the task details interface you will surface an error that impedes you from executing the task. Here are the two scenarios you may have encountered:
What Does NOT work:
1. Submitting a Task from Output table in the Task Group window:
2. Submitting a Task from Output table in the Task Details window:
Partial Workaround
What DOES work: Use the Blue Execute button to create the output on either the task group or task details page
Caveat: This workaround only works in cases where the task table status is still "Pending" or "Planned" All other statuses will result in a greyed out execute button and will not allow you to submit the task.
