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. Here we will have to change the OBSOLETED picklist external code from 23 to a dummy value
