Hi Orf,

I'm trying to use this in our UCSD 5.5 environment, but running into an issue.  It imports the flows and tasks fine, but the workflow for "add fabricpath vlans" keeps failing validation.  It says that the "on success" link in the email task cannot connect to "completed failed".

I cannot remove the "on success" link either.  Any ideas how to rework this to pass validation?

Thanks!

Brent

There is a bug in 5.5. Patch is coming very soon. You can move the success email to success or I think the workflow should still run even though it fails validation.

Thanks for the info Orf.  And you are correct, even though it doesn't pass validation it can still be executed.

I ran into another situation. On the "NetworkDevices" input if I select only 1 device, and then select that same device for the "LoopVarNetworkingDevice" input it works fine.  If I select a dummy device for "LoopVarNetworkingDevice" though it only checks the dummy device.  And if I select multiple devices for "NetworkDevices" and a dummy device for the "LoopVarNetworkingDevice" input it simply checks the dummy device the number of times equal to how many devices I selected for the "NetworkDevices" input.
