Edit the name of a workflow

Hi!

In your workflow designer go to workflow settings and you will be able to access name and description there - change and publish.  Be careful though as I have seen this change create a second workflow on the list and you will have to delete the other workflow from list > workflow settings > add remove ...

As for the labels - I have a method that works for me but you just use them how you wish.

For me I use the labels as follows:

• top label - name of action - I do not change this
• bottom label - use this to describe what I am doing (i.e. set columnA = valueA)
• left label - use to indicate data coming into the action (i.e. variables I am using to calculate dates, or update items)
• right label - use to indicate data coming out of the action (i.e. set variable and the name of the variable being set)

As example is here:

nope wrong place.  go to the list you have the workflow on:

list > list ribbon > workflow settings > manage workflows with nintex workflow

then choose the workflow with the name you wish to change.  you will then be in workflow designer for that workflow.

then choose this

Hi ,

When I rename my workflow and save & Publish it ,I get a new copy of my workflow with Version as 1.0 and when I check in my workflow inventory my old workflow also exist.Is this the default behaviour.

Thanks ,

Any new insights to this? So far I have not been able to rename a workflow. Yes, I can create a new instance, but upon removing the original workflow I lose the version history. 

Is there a way to rename a workflow? Anyone try editing the database record?
