Issue

Update Set Preview Error: Could not find a record in wf_workflow for column workflow referenced in this update

Release

wf_workflow record with sys_id mentioned in the Update Set Preview not present in the instance.

Resolution

  • The error means that the instance is expecting the wf_workflow record, associated with the sc_cat_item record.
  • Please import the workflow to the current instance and then run the preview again.
  • You can do this via another update set import.
  • The sys_ids of the wf_workflow and the associated sc_cat_item can be found in the Update Set Preview itself
