Hi,
We are using a custom workflow task edit form ,
when the user tries to approve the task the task status gets updated as 'completed' , but the workflow does
not progress further, The same does not happen if the user uses the OOB workflow task edit form to 'Approve' .
When we looked into the 'taskitem.xml' file before the 'approve' action and after ,
we noticed ,workflow outcome field does not get updated when using the custom .
I have attached the code snippet of the custom approval task screen and also taskitem.xml files before and after the approval action.
And also this code works perfectly fine in Dev and QA , but it does not work in Production environment alone.
Taskitem.xml ( After update )

Has anybody come across this earlier ?
