On ITSM 7.6.4, we have Work Orders and Tasks being generated by Service Requests. The users have requested that the Work Orders be activated on creation to save time (no review is necessary of them). To do this, I added a filter that looks for a flag field ('WO Type Field 30' = "In Progress") and if found, sets the Status to "In Progress". This is working fine, except when the Work Order has tasks attached, and those tasks are set to notify the assignee, four notifications are being generated for each task assigned. While the notifications are for the same task, the 'eid' for each is different. Here is an example of four notifications:

I also tried disabling the flag field on one of the requests, submitting, and then manually activating the Work Order - again, only one notification was generated. It seems to me that there may be some kind of timing issue, some code involved in generating the tasks that is mistakenly run several times but that normally doesn't activate anything else noticeable. If anyone's worked with or noticed this before, please let me know. Alternate ideas on automating the WO activation are also acceptable (and appreciated ;^)!
