deleted workflow not captured in update set in DEV, now it is causing problems in TEST, what can I do?

[woodyfairley]

Regrettably I had a large number of workflows in my scoped application (Studio) in DEV, trying to learn and optimize  behaviors within the app by using Workflow editor in Studio. Deleting a lot of the useless workflows certainly took some learning, now they are gone. I was careful to ensure my update set and scope were correct at the time I deleted the workflows, but the DELETE action was not captured, and after migrating the update set to TEST, I still have the troublesome workflows. What do I do now to get rid of them? Could they be causing my important workflow to hang at "Wait for condition" activity?

Thank you in advance for reading this question, and thank you to all of the solution-providers!

Kind Regards,

Woody

Hi @woodyfairley ,

Okay, so you can try one more thing, Instead of deleting the workflow make it inactive using "Set Inactive" option and that will serve your purpose and that will get captured in Update Set.

Try this out and please give us an update.

Please mark my answer correct and helpful if this resolves your issue.

Thank you Palak. I really want to delete the faulty workflows, so I went back to the Deleted Records module (as per your first message), then clicked the deleted record's checkbox in the list view, then went to the list menu at the bottom and clicked "Include in Update Set and it added an update to the update set. I think perhaps your second suggestion is also an acceptable approach to disabling the faulty workflows.

Well done! Thank you! And, thank you for your follow-up!
