What happens if you ask a WF to remove a tag that isn't there?

asked on October 30, 2014

If I were to program a WF to include a step to remove a tag, and some of the documents it comes across during its process don't have that tag, what happens.  Will this create a conflict?

For delete actions, the Workflow acts based on the end goal. You want the docs to not have the tag, so since it's already gone, the action is considered successful even when no work is performed. The same applies to deleting entries.

No, this does not generate an error that I have noticed in the past.

 

You could always search for documents with tags, and only remove from those documents instead of having it loop through all entries.

 

Essentially you have enough information to restrict it from doing so.
