Issue Description
When you start a K2 Workflow via the REST API the workflow is by default started synchronously which has a large performance impact when said workflow is large with server-side actions.
Consideration
Within the K2 Workflow REST API UI there is now an option marked as “sync” with a dropdown to select true or false, selecting false will run the workflow asynchronously. The default selection will be true which will run the workflow synchronously.
