Hi,

I am currently trying to start a workflow from within a another workflow. I already use it throughout my solution but in this particular instance, the workflow calling the other workflow gets suspended with the following error:

'List workflow' named 'Workflow XYZ' does not exist.

I have conformed the name of the workflow and that it is published correctly. Any thoughts on what could cause this?

Perhaps you could start your workflow adding a new column named "StartWorkflowX" and update this column with the value "Yes".

Then on your workflowX, change the seetings so as to start it conditionally when the column "StartWorkflowX"="Yes"

Hi,

My solution - the background.

Within a single workflow, I was calling three different sub-workflows that completed almost identical tasks. I configured the action to call the first workflow and then copied it into my workflow. I configured it to point to the correct workflow but I received the error. I then deleted the activity and configured it again manually. After I did this, it seemed to work properly.

May be an issue with the copy and paste of the Start Workflow action...
