Solution Layer on Workflow

Posted on by CU15050833-0

Can anyone confirm if opening a workflow (not activating or amending, just opening to view the steps) in a production environment with managed solutions, would create a solution layer on the workflow? or is it only when activated or amended that a solution layer is created?

We have imported a workflow a few month ago within a solution, we then updated the workflow in Dev and imported a new solution to Prod, these changes (we believe) were working as expected. We have now noticed that it no longer works and when checking the workflow it has reverted to the original with a solution layer, this has been removed and now working again, could opening the workflow in Prod just to view cause the solution layer?

No, just opening a workflow to view it in a production environment (with managed solutions) does not create a solution layer.
A solution layer is only created if the workflow is:

Modified (any change made and saved),

Activated/Deactivated, or

Published after editing.

In your case, the presence of a solution layer (under the "Active" solution) indicates that someone must have made a change or reactivated the workflow in production, even if unintentionally.
Simply viewing the workflow cannot create a new solution layer.
