  1. My goal: make changes to a protected workflow in our uat space

  2. Issue: cannot commit changes. when attempting to commit, we receive the following error: Failed to commit

    Validation error: globalUuid must be unique, elementUuid must be unique

  3. Steps I've taken to troubleshoot:

    1. use a new branch
    2. look for duplicate uuids in the workflow JSON
    3. re-deploy latest from source control
    4. delete all blocks in the workflow
    5. import from JSON

  4. Additional info: Retool Cloud enterprise plan

Hi @sgodoshian,

What were you doing with the workflow before you tried to commit the changes?

The error message makes me think that somewhere in the workflow's internal JSON structure, there are duplicate identifiers for blocks or elements. This shouldn't happen under normal circumstances, so something may have gone wrong during editing, copying, or syncing.

Are there any duplicate blocks? have you tried unprotecting and re-protecting the workflow?

Hi @sgodoshian,

Just wanted to circle back on if you had any more details on this issue!

A screen recording would be incredibly amazing :raising_hands:
