Purpose

Sometimes changing the status of a task in the LDA to ‘Completed’ generates an error message. This guide explains the likely reason and the steps needed to rectify the issue.

Issue

Changing a task status to Complete and then trying to save it produces an error message as below:

Cause

This is usually down to the top level task being set as a Task and not a Stage (this is technically not allowed but may have been imported that way from the template used).

Resolution

Change the top level task to a Stage by exporting the tasks, amending and re-importing as required.
