Here the event is "Return to work".
Now Download the picklist file. Admin tools---->Picklists management----->Export picklist---->Filter it based on events----->
Check the external code of the event Return to work---->It must be 23. If not please find the event with external code "23" from the picklist and add it in above page.
2.Check the following ,if above configuration is correct.
Download the picklist file.Admin tools---->Picklists management----->Export picklist---->Filter it based on events----->Check whether more than 1 event has an external code 23.If so change the external code of duplicate events and re-import the picklist.
External code for "Return to work" event should always to be set as 23. Its a standard value and cannot be changed and must be unique ,not more than 1 events with a status ACTIVE or OBSOLETED must have the external code 23.In below image 2 events has external code 23.This is not supported.
