User task is automatically rejected

[pnature]

Hi.

I am new and I am using Alfresco 5.1 community version.

I have created workflow with user tasks.

Everything looks fine but when I check My tasks I see task "Alfresco Approve document" not "Review User Task".

Lookint into Workflow Details I see:

Type	Completed By	Date Completed	Outcome	Comment
Review	admin	Tue 28 Mar 2017 15:53:10	Rejected
Workflow Start Task	admin	Tue 28 Mar 2017 15:53:10	Task Done

I can do anything but first user task is always automatically "skipped".

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

I solved this problem by adding boundary timer with duration P99Y

Sorry, very late reply, and I'm also not yet an expert on Alfresco. I had the exact same problem but finally figured out where I was going wrong. The start event needs an activiti:formKey specified (eg. of type bpm:startTask)
