State and active fields updating unprompted in Custom App

Hello again community!

 

I'm wrapping up work on a portion of a custom application and I'm running into an issue where the "Active" and "State" fields are updating independent of anything I've setup for them to do. First the overview:

1) The new portion is a table with records being created based on the State of another record.

2) All "States" are individualized to their table, but both are extended from Task

3) While the two custom tables are related, they are not in a Parent/Child relationship setup

4) The records in the old portion, are independent of the function of the new portion. In other words, the records should stay in their own states with either one being able to be closed or opened independently

 

The issue, on the new table, when I set the State to "Pending", it updates the record to be inactive. When I set the State to "Closed incomplete", it updates the State back to "Pending" along with making the record inactive. I don't have any Business Rules or Client Scripts taking this action. I also don't have anything in the Task dictionary entry classifying close states (in fact that had no impact when I tried to add it). The Flow for the new work is setting a record to "inactive" but only at one of my two "Closed" options.

 

Any thoughts on where else I should check?

 

Thanks!
