Hi All,

 

I have a 'Wait for condition' activity in the workflow, but it was a long time ago when a certain field was deleted, which prevented us from moving to the next process. How can I skip this activity and  get to the next stage in this situation.

Well, for active workflows, you will have to update the records somehow. If these are old records, you can use background script or even update the filtered records from list view.

The point is - you need to know what exactly is the wait condition here.

Hi Kilo,

But there is a field in the trigger condition that I have deleted. How can I trigger this situation?

This is not something I've done, but you might want to give it a go.
Go to wf_context table and find your workflow and open the record.
There is a "Workflow Executing Activities" related list. Find the wait for activity and change the state to Finished and see if that makes the workflow move forward. It might not, but it's worth the try. If it works, you could potentially do this from a list to every identical activity related to that workflow.
