Hello,  
I have a workflow state value. This value is contained in a URI that represents its state value.  
How can I update a workflow state value in dooors next generation?

My code:/…

requirement.getExtendedProperties().put(qname, “[http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/rdm/workflowNavantia#Navantia.state.s5”](https://slack-redir.net/link?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ibm.com%2Fxmlns%2Frdm%2FworkflowNavantia%23Navantia.state.s5%E2%80%9D&v=3));

// Here I can change the state value of my requirement

// But when I try update requirement  
// Update the requirement

ClientResponse updateResponse = clientdng.updateResource(requirementLocation,  
requirement, OslcMediaType.APPLICATION\_RDF\_XML);

// I cannot update HTML web jazz DNG clientdng.updateResource

Any suggestions on how to set the value to this a workflow state value?

Thanks in advance.
