The ablity to rerun a workflow, especially one that starts from a form

Hi Kate, any ETA on this?

This is starting to become a pain point for us the more workflows we push out, any updates?

This would be extremely helpful to us. Any updates on if it is on the roadmap?

The ability to restart / resume a failed workflow instance once the workflow has been updated and republished is a really needed feature. It would also be very useful if workflow variables could be adjusted prior to restarting / resuming the workflow.

Would like to restart the workflow from within a workflow instance, so it does not need to be terminated and restarted from the beginning.

Thanks for your feedback.
Just to avoid the misunderstanding, I would like to rephrase the word "Restart" to "Resume".
When the workflow is failed, we want to "resume" it from the point where it's failed, not starting all over again.

Noted on the Restart to Resume - it will depend on the error state of the workflow - IF purely resuming due to time out issue, then for sure. But if the value being used in the action configuration requires updates? This may require more thought.

Thanks for your comment.

-->I'm not sure what you meant this point, but what we are asking is to be able to resume the workflow, not all the failed instances but those which were failed due to HTTP429 error like throttling and/or due to time-out error for some reasons while connecting.

Hi Rick, I have a specific requirement. A task is assigned to a user who is not a user in Nintex causing it to fail. We need to manually add the user as a participant and then restart the workflow.

Hi Rick.

Workflows fail from time to time. Having the ability to resubmit the start data directly from NWC would be really helpful. It is especially tedious if the workflow is a component workflow with start variables or the workflow starts with a form.

When the workflow is suspended, we can see the instance details from "Instances" tab, but there is no function to restart the workflow.
It would be good to have a restart function, at least, when it's failed in SharePoint connector such as HTTP429 error or 9min time-out.

Hi Rick,

Critical from my perspective to have that. We've had credentials for a sharepoint connector expire today (and I can imagine we'd have connection issues/outages unrelated to credentials from time to time).

We just need to be able to restart the Workflow from the point it failed once an issue like that is resolved. Happy to chat further if you still want.

Error Handling in WFC. We need a way to handle errors in WFC. Having critical workflows crashing and having to restart them is a huge issue and can cost lots of time and money for the organization.

Hi, do we know if this is likely to be available anytime 2022? Deal breaker for a present customer who would like to work with NWC. Three extra votes from me :)

1.We want the same level of function that is given on Nintex Workflow for Office 365 which is able to resume the worklfow when suspended by error.
2.We want to resume the workflow from the action that gets suspended when it's failed by time-out error (due to the throttling of SPO).
3.When the workflow is failed because of the user not registered in Nintex and failed in "Assign the task", we want to manually add the user as a participant and want to resume the workflow from the action that gets suspended.

This is incredibly important. I have workflows failing because we are changing logins to a different domain (same forest, same O365 tenant) A workflow starts, and then a user who gets a task from that workflow has their login/email changed. When the workflow sends email or a task to the user who changed login/email it fails.
1. Start workflow with tasks/emails
2. A task recipient changes login/email before their task is assigned
3. Task is assigned to them and the workflow fails

Need to restart the workflow, need the original submitter's name from the workflow, so now have to ask the submitter to submit again. I have to cobble together screen shots of the original form (the data tab copy/paste is not a table, too hard to clean up) to give them. Not a good look. Please help.

@Rick De Marco - I'd love to have a chat with you about this.

The ability to restart a failed workflow is critical. I'm super excited this has started!

resubmitting in the backend it as it was originally submitted is often a quick and easy fix compared to going back to the original submitter to resubmit on a form.

Does this also work for component workflows?
