Hi @lilyyangadsk ,

 

this is because you have packaged the SharePoint output as an asset when uploading to the server so it is hardcoded as an _externals datasource.

This is not what you want to do. 

 

Re-export the workflow from your designer and ensure you have NOT checked the box beside your output tools:

This will then run that import every time rather than fixing at point of save.

 

I hope this helps,

When attempting to output a file to SharePoint, there can be several errors that might occur. Some possible reasons why you are encountering an error when trying to output a file to SharePoint could be due to a lack of permission to access the SharePoint site, an issue with the connection to the SharePoint server, or an issue with the file format or size. You can try to troubleshoot the issue by ensuring that you have the necessary permissions to access the SharePoint site, checking your network connection, verifying that the file format and size meet the requirements for SharePoint, and double-checking the configuration settings for outputting files to SharePoint. If the issue persists, it may be helpful to consult with your IT department or seek assistance from a SharePoint expert.

@lilyyangadsk , I don't know what you mean by "I don't have your screenshot" - It's in the post.

 

When you, or whoever published to gallery, exported the workflow they grouped the output tools as assets. This needs to be re-done without those tools being grouped, as per the screenshot.

 

If you are publishing directly from the Designer:

Ensure this is UN-CHECKED.

 

This should fix the issue.
