RequestorId: fe62cfea-bccf-5107-0000-000000000000. Details: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the workflow instance. Exception details: System.ArgumentException: AssignedTo at Microsoft.Activities.Hosting.Runtime.Subroutine.SubroutineChild.Execute(CodeActivityContext context) at System.Activities.CodeActivity.InternalExecute(ActivityInstance instance, ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager) at System.Activities.Runtime.ActivityExecutor.ExecuteActivityWorkItem.ExecuteBody(ActivityExecutor executor, BookmarkManager bookmarkManager, Location resultLocation) Exception from activity Throw If Sequence Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.Activities.OperatingWebContextScope Microsoft.SharePoint.WorkflowServices.Activities.SingleTask Sequence MyCustomTaskFormDemo.MyTestWorkflow.WorkflowXaml_b5a2cce1_a658_4396_a564_84feae343a0b

Solution:

The issue was there with the assignto field where we were assigning the email id for which we need to create the task.

In the Assigned to: filed, I gave a wrong email id.

Example: Instead of giving “[email protected]” I gave with wrong tenant id like [email protected]

Once I gave the correct email id, the issue got resolved.

Hope this will be helpful.
