Multiple Dialog Workflows.. is it possble to
Hi..
Newbie alert
I've seen a couple of related/similar posts that allude to this problem.. but I've not been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong or if what I am doing is just not possible.
Basically a very simple test project. I have a Form Start Workflow project. There are two Dialog Workflows. 1st one has a dialog model with webform with two buttons cancel and submit. Hit cancel and the process ends there, hit submit and it should then go to the 2nd Dialog Workflow and display a webform with an end button to end the process.
Problem is that when I run it in debug - it gets to the 2nd dialog workflow but just then stops without actually doing anything. The workflow management statistics says that there is an active process and an unassigned task which has the error:

Thanks for any pointers - oh and I realise I could acieve the same thing using a single Dialog Workflow with two webforms... but I'm just trying to figure out how the different components interact
OneWay
Multiple Workflow components
That's a pretty common new developer question. The behavior isn't intuitive until you aren't the only person involved in the process.
For your first Workflow webform, it makes perfect sense to begin the request with a webform. However, once the first Workflow component is finished, control needs to pass to another individual. That individual won't be sitting in front of the same computer. Therefore, you have to notify the next person in the process that they have work to perform.
The most common methods for notification of a pending Workflow task can be done via a Send Mail component and or an assignment within the Workflow Advanced portal.
Thank you
Many thanks.. this helps!
