When an event in a workflow contains a SmartObject File property and you use the get list method of the SmartObject to return data, an error occurs when you deploy the workflow.
The following error occurs: “Missing reference at SmartObjectField in Event ‘Program Manager Notification Less’ in Activity ‘Program Manager Notification Less’. Error: While trying to resolve the following reference root.externalReferenceDefinitions[{“InternalId”:43}]. Methods[{…”
Existing workflows with this issue need to be re-opened and re-deployed.
If a workflow was loaded from KPRX or from K2 Package and Deployment, this fix will not be able to address the issue as there are no recovery points.
