Issue/Introduction

Context:
IM r14.1.0.

Description:
This is a policy based workflow for a modify user event.
The workflow process for the approval policy is the OOTB EscalationApproval.
The "Escalation Approver" section is set for a User ID.
The "Default Approver" section is set for a list of users belonging to an admin role.
The "Primary Approver" section is set with a custom participant resolver class which does not return users.
With this context the users in the "Default Approver" scope should receive the approval but they do not.
 

Environment

The prerequisite to get this issue is a system/email definition as "Workflow Pending" type for "escalation approval" event and
the recipient must be workflow approvers. (with one static address then no issue).
 

Cause

The root cause of this issue is a "Concurrency error";
