Multiple Duplicates/Copies of Workflows and Business Rules in Advanced Find, Why?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello All.

I am updating descriptions of all Business Rules and Workflows in Dynamics 365. During my checkup to revise whether I had correctly filled in all descriptions for all processes, I used Advanced Find to filter all Processes. The List of all Processes has at least two thirds of all Processes as Copies, that are in Draft mostly. What is the cause of this and how can I get rid of the other copies to remain with only one Process? Also, how does this affect functionalities and deployment of a solution which contains these processes?

Thanks in Advance.

JC

    Hi,

     did you add a filter "type equals definition"?

     Only those definitions will be exported/imported.

     All others can be templates or "activations" (CRM has to keep track of those since, when you update the definition, there can be a workflow running already for an older definition..)
