WFA 4.0 workflow designer is destroying workflows

kiessl — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 18:12:08 GMT

Hi,

I noticed the following behaviour of WFA 4.0 workflow designer:

When reordering user inputs then some inputs get lost. The workflow cannot be started because of a lost reference to an user input. Further user inputs cannot be added to this workflow. The workflow is destroyed.

Details:

This is my user input tab in workflow designer:

Then the order of two user inputs is changed:

Now changing to the "constants" tab and back again:

Userinput "_SvmRole" is gone. When saving the workflow in this state it cannot be used any more:

Any ideas or help?

Best Regards

Walter

Hi Sinhaa,

thanks for your help.

Sorry, but due to internal security policies I am not allowed to share property of my company with community members. But I may send the worklfow-dar file within in official NetApp support case.

Unable to reproduce the issue.

Can you please save the workflow before going to the 'constants' tab.

Also if the groups are getting mixed up, I see that the order is getting reset.

But I saw that the 2 variables which you are trying to rearrange belongs to the same group.

So this issue can be ruled out.
