Status is not permitted by the workflow

You specified an invalid status value in the filemap.xml file.

You receive the following error after you perform an import operation:
The object cannot be moved to the selected status because it is not allowed by the current workflow.

You attempted to import an object with an invalid status.

  1. In the filemap.xml file, locate the <file> element that references the object.
  2. Ensure that the content of the <ishfield name="FSTATUS"> element is valid for your repository.

    For example, if the workflow specifies that all topics must start with a "Draft" status, you cannot import a topic with a status of "To be reviewed."
