I copied a repeat loop with all of it's activities and the repeat loop had a condition referencing tokens from activities inside. My instinct was that these references would point to the newly copied activities and not the ones from inside the repeat loop I copied from. However that was not the case, it never updated the references in the condition and so the condition is never returning false and the repeat runs forever.

So I went back to the workflow design and fixed the token reference, then republished over the existing running workflow instances. However if I go to the workflow instance in question and it never updated my token reference in the condition for the repeat function so it is still stuck in an infinite pattern.

So I tried to find an option to bypass the repeat loop manually and I don't see any.

How do I fix this without restarting the entire workflow?

To be even more specific, it does show the new reference in the Workflow tab of the instance when I click on the Repeat 7 activity which was changed from Waitforapproval3 to Waitforapproval6.

But in the conditions tab it is showing the wrong activity and token value still each time I cycle the repeat loop. The conditions tab is not matching what I have configured in the Workflow tab.

It gets even worse; I could not find anywhere to directly modify the token values so I put an activity called temporary fix in to modify the token values as a workaround in the repeat loop and it my repeat loop is repeating still

But it keeps skipping over my new activity.
