Windchill 10.1 M040 workflow

I am trying to put a custom promotion request workflow in place and I am having a couple of issues. I am trying to add an Activity for an action item before the promotion approval request goes Under Review. Ultimately, I want to have several action items, but starting simple to just get it working. Started with the OOTB Promotion Approval workflow:

Added the Document Control Action item activity shown below (is this the right spot?).

When I get to selecting participants for the approval, it says "no process" for Select Process and not showing any available participants. I am using the OOTB Promotion Request Team, have created a subtype for promotions and have uploaded an OIR to use this subtype with a custom lifecycle (which I saved from the original lifecycle, so no changes there). I added access controls for the new subtype.

When I create a new Promotion Request, it is pulling the correct subtype:

Any ideas why the participants are not showing up in the third step of the promotion request?

Thanks,

Solved. Promotion Requests default workflows are selected in the Preference Manager instead of being called out in the life cycle, so even though I had disabled the workflow, it was still being called up when I initiated a promotion request. In fact, I had to remove the custom workflow from the life cycle because it was trying to start that workflow and the OOTB workflow at the same time. Once I selected the custom workflow within the Preference Manager, it worked great.
