Hello!

I have been trying to find an answer to my question, but I have not come across it yet.
Currently, I have a list workflow that calculates a due date based off of a priority level and set date, then updates a form with the calculated due date. The workflow appears to run just fine, but I receive a "failed to start" error message from SharePoint. The form displays the correct due date, and the history log shows that it calculated the proper dates. Any thoughts?

Hi,
This is most likely a topology issue.
The workflow is trying to start on a server that is missconfigured to run workflows so you get the failed to start error. On the next attempt it picks another server which is correctly configured and the workflow runs.

The following Knowledge Base article has 3 options to resolve this issue. https://community.nintex.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Error-quot-lt-Workflow-Name-gt-Failed-to-Run-quot-in-Workflow/ta-p/85670
