False Positive Workflow Warning

asked on February 15, 2016

I have a quick question about possibly muting a specific Workflow "warning." I'm bumping into a situation where Workflow is always throwing a "warning" when a workflow runs (in the Search Results pane), but the warning in question is always a false positive.

Here's the use-case... I have a form that contains a table. That table has one optional column -- sometimes users populate it, sometimes they don't. On submission, that form triggers a workflow that uses both a "Retrieve Laserfiche Forms Content" activity and a "For Each Row" activity to pull out values from the table.

The problem is that workflow always throws a warning if the optional column is empty for any row. The warning is: The token 'ForEachRowinItemsTable_itemsItemCost' was not found. [0511-WF1]. This warning is thrown by any activity that attempts to access the column value within the "for each" loop.

It's pretty strange to me that Workflow throws a warning in this situation. It doesn't do the same for non-table-based fields if they are empty. (In case it matters, the optional column is a currency field.)

Is there any way to silence this warning? I try to watch very closely for any warnings that appear in the Search Results Pane, and investigate each one carefully to track down bugs. This false positive warning is making that hard to do. Thanks for any help!

Hi Jonathan,

I tried to recreate your issue, but with no luck. However, I matched the table/column/activity names to your example, and my token name is different:

Forms table name: "Items"

Forms column name: "Item Cost"

Workflow "For Each Row" activity name: "For Each Row in Items Table"

Resulting token name: "ForEachRowinItemsTable_Item_Cost"

I would try changing the "Item Cost" variable name in Forms, and then refreshing the variables from Workflow's end. 

What versions of Workflow/Forms are you using?

There is currently no way to turn off activity warnings. It's on our to-do list but not in the very near future.
