I resolved this issue (here) by making the required xml edit. This worked and processed correctly. I then opened the template and added a description
to it. I confirmed the runbook automation still showed pending and also exported the management pack and confirmed the xml was still edited correctly. But now this service request is stuck at NEW and never goes to In-Process. I have
tried this fix and it did not work. I restarted the server. I cannot find any workflows that need attention and no error in the event logs including Operations Manager event log. What could be wrong now?
Update: I reimported the management pack that I originally modified and still have the same issue. So it is not related to me making changes after importing the management pack. It will not process any service request. I wish it would just give an error,
blow up or somthing so I have something to look at.
