Or

An application error occurred. Please try again later or notify support (with the error information of errorId=0000-00000-00000-00000, timestamp=0000-00-00T00:00:00+0000, and the version information from the current screen) if the issue keeps occurring.

Cause

The error message and loading issue indicates that the UI is corrupted. 

Resolution

 To resolve the loading screen issue when updating a workflow request, begin by:

  1.  Verifying the UI screen configuration on the "Configure Object Definitions".
  2.  If a UI screen is indeed configured on "Default Screen", remove it from the object.
  3.  And attempt to "Update" the workflow again.
  4. If this resolves the issue, it indicates that the original UI screen was corrupted. 

The recommended is to withdraw the existing UI screen and create a new one to integrate with the object. This newly created UI should function correctly, preventing further loading issues and ensuring smooth workflow operations.
