Why is python code executed when uploading to gallery?

[Joshman108]

I have python code that reads a static file and sends it as an attachment in webex, within the context of a regular workflow.

This python code gets fully executed and a message sent every time I save the workflow to the gallery.

I can not have this.

How can I stop this? Interactive vs production code did not help.

There's a checkbox to Validate the workflow when saving. It runs the workflow to make sure it's working, but is optional. I think if you make sure you uncheck that, you should be fine.
