 Scenario Outline: Publish a successful Task Update event which updates the Task status and copies the metadata
     Given I have a clinical workflow Task_Status_Update_Workflow
-    And I have a Workflow Instance WFI_Task_Status_Update
+    And I have a Workflow Instance WFI_Task_Status_Update with no artifacts
     When I publish a Task Update Message <updateMessage> with status Succeeded
     Then I can see the status of the Task is updated
     And I can see the Metadata is copied to the workflow instance
