Apply Pnp Provisioning : List workflow

Copper Contributor

Source sub site contains 1. A list based workflow (2013 version)

1. create using SPD and works successfully - when using Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate it creates a {GUID}.xaml file in the output directory along with the template defintion file. I have reviewed these and all xml tags/formatting appear to be correct.

 

When using Apply-PnpProvisioningTemplate (with debuggin on) it receive the following out put.

My Assumption is around the workflow, as removing this appears to work successfully.

 

Any pointers/ideas?

Hi Rod,
I know, this topic is more than three years old, but I'm running into the same issue.
Did you ever find out what was causing this error or even how to circumvent it?

Greetings,
