Issue

Change Requests cancelled by Escalation Workflows progress to Fulfillment instead of getting cancelled in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle.

For example, a Request Form is utilized to create an account which does not generate any change item. There are three levels of Approvals and each Approval node has set Due Date as N days. Every day, an Escalation is fired and on the last day instead of the entire Change Request (CR) being cancelled, it goes into the Fulfillment phase and the CR is completed.

The issue manifests with the following symptoms:

• It will create approval activity, generate an Escalation after some time and cancel the Change Request item which is expected but it follows the Fulfillment path (which is not expected and incorrect behavior.)
• Creates two escalations: Cancel Change Request and Revert Changes.
• The Cancel Change Request Escalation is completed but the Workflow is stuck in Revert Changes.
• The CR status is Completed.

Expected Result
