Sharepoint 2010 Workflow can no longer be published on Sharepoint 2013 for our Online site
Well it's now officially a full week without this working, and we have ... nothing. No update, no ETR, just crickets, and nothing from my own organisation's "support" function.
I'm keen to understand how everyone else is dealing with the outage, what workarounds have you implemented - and how successful have they been?
Why are you still relying on SharePoint 2010 workflows?
For us - these are all new workflows developed in the last 12 months that require functionality that is only available in SharePoint 2010 workflows - creation of Document Sets (actually of content types derived from document sets, not document sets per se) and InfoPath forms-based input (for which there is still no sensible replacement available to me).
My team/organization is in the same boat as you...we just discovered this issue yesterday. This morning, we had a crucial business demonstration for a solution that leverages SPD2010 workflows due to the limitations of creating Document Sets within SPD2013. Luckily for us...we did not edit the previously published workflow to create Document Sets...no there was no issue with republishing. However, many other workflows for the same solution had to be re-written using SPD2013...took my team member literally all of yesterday and into the hours of early today to get the solution to a place where we could demonstrate functionality.
I've alerted my organizations regarding the issue at hand...hoping people are not foolish enough to go and edit their existing/published workflows in SPD2010.
