Custom workflow won't appear in the Actions button on the Asset page
Summary: In a discussion initiated by Inna Zakhodin, they express a problem with their custom workflow not appearing in the "Actions" button dropdown, despite the workflow being deployed, enabled, and configured correctly with the relevant permissions. Justin Truehitt suggests checking if there is already a workflow instance running on the asset with the option "This workflow can only run once at the same time on a specific resource" selected, which might prevent it from showing up. The conversation focuses on troubleshooting steps to ensure the workflow is visible and executable from the "Actions" button.
I want my custom workflow to be started from the “Actions” button but I cannot get it to appear in the drop-down.
the workflow is deployed and enabled
the Applies To section of the workflow configuration shows the Asset Type that I want the workflow to be invoked for
no Community/Domain is set in the "Applies To" section
the Global checkbox in the workflow configuration is not checked
all relevant permissions are set and I run it as a system administrator
the start event in the workflow is a 'None Start Event'
What else should be done for the workflow to appear under "Actions"? Or is it an issue with the workflow itself?

·4 months agoAny chance there is already a workflow instance running against the asset and the "This workflow can only run once at the same time on a specific resource" option is selected?

OP4 months agoI have found the problem - I added a Rule to apply the workflow to the asset type "Data Set" but I never designated it as an "Asset" type workflow in the "Applies To" section of the workflow configuration.
