Validation error when updating a task using the API fails when the ignorewarning flag is set

User receives the following validation error when the "ignorewarning" flag is set:

"General validation error. Validate Dependency/Leveling failed."

This error can occur if the task is locked in by a user in  Changepoint, for example in the project planning worksheet (PPW). If this is the case, the warning message cannot be suppressed or ignored because tasks cannot be updated while being locked by another user.
