hi i'm trying to undeclare a record in a workflow with the method Records.UndeclareItemAsRecord(SPListItem)
in general this works, however sometimes I get the error trace back (see below)
It seems like this happens when my record gets into a "bad state" (I'm not sure how this happens.
The "bad state" that I'm referring to is a record that shows in the UI as a record but is actually not checked out to the System account. In the UI if you try to undeclare the record (via the compliance detals tab), when you click undeclare it, the sharepoint UI (Compliance Details screen) flashes a "processing request" message for a second and then the record status goes back to "Record". It seems like the UI can't undeclare it either!
I had this problem before i started doing any vs 2010 workflows in a library and i called support to try and figure out how to delete this "bad state" record and they couldn't figure out a way to delete it. Has anyone else had this problem?
