Hi guys,

I cannot find much information on this, but I would expect that when a workflow instance is terminated (manually or by a workflow), all workflow tasks that relate to the instance, are removed as well.

I notice in my current O365 environment that this is not the case, can someone confirm this?

So to my understanding I would need to "workaround" this by deleting all workflow tasks by using e.g. a different workflow...

Thanks,

Glenda

Hi Glenda,

This was the case with Nintex for SharePoint, which uses the SharePoint 2010 Workflow engine, however Nintex for Office 365 uses the SharePoint 2013 Workflow engine, and unfortunately the SharePoint 2013 Workflow Engine does not perform these tasks on termination of a workflow. This would be true for any Nintex workflows, or SharePoint Designer/Visual Studio workflows that are created as well.
