+3We are using SharePoint 2013 and Nintex 2013. I created a simple workflow which starts a second workflow. Before I start the second workflow I set item permissions. I break inheritance and give the initiator full control. When the workflow try to start the second workflow it thorws an error:
Start workflow failed. The item does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.
Why is not possible to modify the list item permissions before starting another workflow?
+3Is this a known issue/bug? Why is the second activity not waiting till the first activity is finished?
it's sharepoint feature - it doesn't execute actions immediatelly as they are passed trhough within workflow. it batches action from all over the environment and executes them once in a while.
furthermore there other batching aspects, and different complexity to execute each action.
that all may have effect on subsequent actions
see eg. this blog for further details
