Workflow is taking a new version when completing a task.

Hello Experts,

I am working with workflows and I have a problem, in my development system I am completing some work items manually using SWIA, those work items are "in process" status and they are from the last year, early this year I made a change in this workflow adding a couple of activities in the flow. The problem is; now when I am trying to complete those work items manually for some reason the workflow is taking the new version of the workflow, even when these instances of the workflow were created with an old version, should be using the version with it was created. this only happens in my development system, I have tested in Quality and it works perfect even when the new version is in Quality and production but in those system the behaviour is as expected when I complete the work item manually the workflow uses the version with they were created, which is an old one. so the problem is just in Developemnt and I wanna know if there is any way for fixing this.

I hope I explained myself clearly.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Freddy,

If the issue is only there in Dev system, some changes has been made already and not yet moved to Quality.

Is it happning for all workflows in Dev system?

Thanks,

Hello Viji,

The workflows are exactly equal in Development, Quality and Production, no changes are pending, the problem seems to be related to the versions on each system. I found note 1027175, and I can see some differences between the versions in the systems, so I think is a known issue in workflows and there is no way we can get the old workflows in their original version back
