    About this task

    In the Vulnerability Response Workspaces, a remediation task transitions through the same states as a remediation task prior did in previous versions of Vulnerability Response. When all the vulnerable items (VITs) in a remediation task are closed, the remediation task transitions to the Inactive state.

    Important:
    You can manually move change requests and remediation tasks through the states of their life cycles on their respective records with state synchronization enabled, but when the system registers that a CHG has changed its state, or you add a CHG or remove it from a remediation task, state synchronization potentially can override your manual intervention. However, change request states do not automatically move remediation tasks from the Closed or Deferred states.
