Risk Identification being created in the 'Information gathering' State instead of 'New'

The Risk Identification record keeps on being created in State = 'Information gathering' when the Entity.Owner is filled up.
If the created Entity from the flow has no Owner field filled in, the record is set to 'New' State as intended
There is nothing from the Risk Identification Configuration that would show why this is happening. Also, a Before Insert BR did not work when I tried it.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @PreciousP ,
That's the expected behaviour OOTB, why you want the Record to be in "New " state when you cannot do anything in the new state and it's very similar to Information gathering state, except entiy owner. As if you don't have entity owner you cannot send this record to them for gathering the required information.
The workflow of the record is as follows:
In the Risk Workspace, a risk manager can use the risk identification workflow to identify risks. The workflow has multiple stages. The stage progress gets updated as activities are completed. The risk identification workflow is broken it into multiple lanes. Each lane in the workflow includes one or more activities for a task owner to complete.
The benefit of using the risk identification workflow is that you can get a detailed view on a single interface. You can also easily go back to any stage and restart an activity.
- View the responses.
- Approve or reject the responses.
Note: If there is rejection, the risk manager can provide a reason for rejection and resend the questionnaire.
- Initiate inherent assessment.
- Perform the risk assessment.
- View the assessment scores.
- Relate either the recommended risks or relate them from the library. Alternatively, the risk manager can also create risks.
Note: Recommended risks are risks that are generated from information objects.
- Mark the activity as complete.
- Relate either the recommended policies or relate them from the library.
- Relate or create additional controls after the controls for various risks and policies are automatically generated.
- Request attestations for either all the controls or selective controls.
- In a workflow, the stage progression is automatic, however, if you restart any activity after completing it, you have to manually move to the next stage.
- If you finish relating the controls and then again move to risk mapping, the control-mapping stage moves to pending state.
- When you reinitiate a workflow, a new workflow instance is created.
