Posted on by 425

Hi,

We are trying to use File type for a requirement in Model driven apps but that is breaking the workflow designer of that entity, i get "Invalid argument" error when opening the workflow designer.

Is anyone facing the same issue? if you have managed to find a fix, please let me know.

Thanks

Jeevan

    Hi Jeevan,

    if you remove the File field, does it work or it fails. Can you provide the error message from the detail section.

    Best Regards

    Removing the field works fine, it throws Invalid argument error.

    Yes, if you try to update an entity having the File field in workflow it is throwing Invalid Argument. I guess it is not supported and might be in the future.

    May I suggest you have a separate related entity to store the Fle Type instead of your main entity.

    Best Regards
