Hi Rick,
If the CI is Deployed, it may have some relationships. Your error is being triggered by a push fields to the relationships of the CIs. When a CI is moved to In Inventory, some of its relationships may make no sense to have. In this case, to avoid triggering this workflow (ie be correct according to ITSM programming), it would be best to delete the relationship in Q, modify the status, then, if and only if that original relationship will still be desired for an asset in inventory, rebuild that relationship (or an alternate one). When a multi-record data change is needed, Meta-Update is a quick way to accomplish this without changing anything at all on the server (you won't need to disable the sandbox or change workflow). That type of three step operation would be a snap in Meta-Update - that is: under an hour. A trial license is free, completely unrestricted, good for 30 days, and comes with our Live Install service which will generally solve a business problem for you. In this case, the Live Install would include learning and running this two or three step script.
