Workflow outcome changes not updating in “Complete User Task” activities (Mendix 10.18.6)

0
When we rename a user task outcome in the Workflow Editor, the new name is not updated in the “Complete User Task” activities in our microflows. At the moment, we must open every affected activity and manually select the correct outcome again. The confusing part is that Mendix shows no errors after the rename. An error only appears at runtime, when the microflow tries to complete the user task with an outcome that no longer exists. Is there a better way to handle this? I expected Mendix to update these references automatically, similar to how renaming an entity or attribute updates all usages. Is this a limitation of the workflow module? Are there any improvements planned for future Mendix versions?

Hi Elias Kopp,

 

When we rename a task outcome, the change is not reflected automatically in the “Complete User Task” action. We need to manually re-select the correct outcome again in each activity where it is used. It would be great if Mendix updates these references automatically similar to how entity/attribute name changes are handled. Hope this improvement will come in future Mendix versions.
