Workitem Locked by user - unlocking not being possible

[Sree S]

Hi Mike.

I hope there is a misconception !

I am starting a workflow using a creation of an event,
Until and unless i write the container, how do i pass the value to the
workflow container.
I locked it because it was said in one off the forums to lock it as there
might be an enqueue error problem in the workitem and someone might change
the data in a later case.

Thanks,
shankar
