In reply to Chandran. Hi Chandran, There is no easy way to do that, due to the number of related tables that would also need to have records copied. The way I've done this in the past is simply to open the two workflows in the workflow editor canvas. Add a new activity of the correct type to the workflow, then manually configure the new activity so that it mirrors the existing one.

Is there a way to copy just a single workflow activity from one workflow to another?

In reply to Avi Goli. I haven't seen a way to do that yet. Will let you know if I find out.

Hi Mark,

Any idea how to copy a workflow in a script (server, not client).. the same as we do in the UI, but I would like to be able to copy workflow (by name or sys_id) to a new (by a new name) … The SN version is Helsinki or/and Istanbul .. Is there any SN API/Processor I can use? something like this maybe: com.glideapp.workflow.ui.ng.NGWorkflowProcessor (java) …

By the way, I saw no evidence that pop-ups were blocked. I tried it in Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox, all with the same result.

I tried using the code you published for Exporting Service Catalog Items in One Step, and it works great!

But when I tried this script, and clicked on the Export to XML link in my workflow, it didn’t bring up the window to ask me where to save the file.
Do you have any advice for me?

In reply to Andrew Westervelt. Thanks Andrew! I've added this to the script above as well.

For anyone who has had issues with subflow activities not being exported correctly, insert the following code as line 22:

exporter.addRelatedList(‘wf_workflow_instance’, ‘workflow_version’);

You’ll still need to export the additional workflow when moving between instances, but at least the relationship will stay intact.

Mark,
This was awesome. You saved me a lot of time in finding the data flow and fixing an issue I am working on.
Apparantly, we had someone who didn’t bother to capture the updates in a proper update set and we ended up with a complex workflow developed successfully, but not exportable to the production.
Many thanks.
regards,
Ravi
