Thank you for the feedback. I can confirm I had the same information provided by our MS Partner also. The workaround or solution I have implemented to avoid this is to add one additional column in the list, "DataImported" with a default value set as No (For new items being created) and set the previously uploaded data as DataImported=Yes. Then simply added a condition to Terminate any item that is flagged as DataImported=Yes. So, the workflow is only really running when new items are added, and the existing data is skipped.
