Issue
- I've performed an upgrade to DXP 7.1+, and I noticed that I have a fewer number of workflows in my upgraded environment.
- When taking a look at the workflows that were present in the environment prior to the upgrade (and are no longer present in the upgraded environment), I see that they were different versions of an existing workflow.
- For example:
| Workflow Definitions Before DXP 7.1 |
Workflow Definitions in DXP 7.1+ |
| Name |
Version |
Name |
| Single Approver |
1 |
Single Approver |
| Single Approver |
2 |
Test Workflow |
| Test Workflow |

Environment
- An environment that has been upgraded to DXP 7.1+
Resolution
- Prior to DXP 7.1, all versions of a workflow definition were listed as separate workflow definitions entries. However, in DXP 7.1, Liferay has introduced a change to list all versions of a workflow under the same entry. This causes fewer total workflows to be listed in DXP 7.1+ when a user navigates to Control Panel > Workflow > Process Builder.
- This change was introduced to minimize the confusion caused by different versions working as separate workflows and to make the latest update of a workflow as the valid workflow option.
