So Iāve got workflows that create like 15 tasks. I believe the workflow edit screen uses a lot of javascript to display all the tasks. You have to be careful on workflows with lots of tasks to not edit and save changes to quickly as it takes some time for all the actions to load. Iāve saved before they all loaded and obliterated some of the actions.
I havenāt gone in and changed my workflows in at least 4 or 5 months, maybe longer. I went in today, and the actions are all blank, but the workflow is still working, the actions just are no longer displaying in the workflow edit screen. Anyone run into this before?
Which version?
Have you checked for any Javascript errors in browserās developer console?
I checked for js errors and didnāt see any. I just installed a fresh copy of LTS version 7.8.20 (I was on 7.8.7) I didnāt do an upgrade as I wanted to make sure everything was āclean.ā Clean latest version has the same problem so it appears not many users are using the Workflow module, or at least not the way I use it as this has been an issue for several months now. Luckily I havenāt had to edit workflows until now.
If you want to see for yourself, create a new test workflow.
Add an action that creates a new task record. Add the āsubjectā field for example and enter a test subject.
Now save the workflow and then go edit it.
The field and value of the action are not displayed when editing. Really frustrating. And I canāt edit via database record because the action code in the DB is super cryptic.
HELP!!!
Iāve never reported an official bug as thereās always been a fix or workaround posted on the forum but this might need an official bug report. Still canāt believe itās been like this for so long and no one else has pointed this out.
So I started installing old versions to see where the bug started and I kept going back and back and figured it couldnāt have gone that far back. Itās an issue with the browser. Iām using Chrome. I closed all windows. Cleared all the browser data (cache, etc) except cookies and restarted and it fixed it.
Wow, thatās weird. Anyway, Iām glad you solved it!
