I have created a custom workflow for a custom page in Business Central to run an approval process.
I also created custom events and responses and configured them within the workflow.
However, when I execute it, the workflow instance gets deleted after the first go.
Upon further investigation, I found that in the Workflow Step table, the “Next Workflow Step ID” field remains 0. Because of this, the system assumes there are no further steps, considers the workflow complete, and deletes the workflow instance.
My question is: how can I properly assign or configure the “Next Workflow Step ID” field so that the workflow continues to the next step instead of ending after the first one?
Hello,
I encountered the same issue with custom workflows in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. To resolve it, I created workflow templates and then generated workflows based on those templates, which worked correctly.
I would recommend reviewing your workflow events configuration carefully, as the issue may be related to how the events are defined or linked. If needed, feel free to share your setup, and I can help you review it.
Thank you.
Hi, good day I hope this can help you, and give you some hints.
Next workflow step id is empty
