Workflow error: You must create a workflow from the template to edit it

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 80

I'm creating two custom workflows for custom tables/documents and on my first run, I realized that there were some errors I needed to correct on the templates but changing anything on the Workflow setup results in an error:

"You must create a workflow from the template to edit it"

When I open the workflow templates/workflows page.

I have tried changing the SchemaUpdateMode to ReCreate & ForceSync but it's not working still.

How can I remove a previously inserted Workflow Template or make sure every time I publish my extension it updates it automatically.

I have the same question (0)

    Please note that I have used this same blog article to create my Workflow, my only issue is with the said error when wanting to update template(s).

    Hi, 
    I have the same problem using the link below:
     
     
    the solution is  to replace the Event Subscriber  OnAfterInitWorkflowTemplates by  OnInsertWorkflowTemplates .
     
    everthing will be ok after.
