We are planning on utlizing tasks for an approval process. The process already exists in a legacy app, so we are basically recreating the tool with Nintex workflow for O365.
There are some cases in the original process where a submission takes a very long time to be fully approved. The approval process could (at abslute most) take up to a year to fully approve.
My question is, how long can a task stay active? Would a task be able to stay active that long? I know that SharePoint removes workflow history after 30 days, would that play a part as well?
I was planning on using a state machine, then only having the workflow run on submission, and not stop until all approvals are completed. I really don't want to run into a case where the workflow is terminated or anything before the process is completed.
Any feedback or guidance would be much appreciated.
