Symptom
- An error occurs when attempting to approve a Meta Data Framework (MDF) workflow.
- The error message displayed is "Your workflow approval request cannot be completed as there is already data in the system with the same external code and effective date. Please cancel the request."
- The issue arises when an end user submits multiple workflow requests for the same MDF object on the same day.
- The error prevents the approval of subsequent workflow requests after the first one has been approved.
