Cannot execute previous step

When trying to execute previous steps of a node in editing mode, I always get

Even if I pinned the earlier node’s input data.

Unfortunately it’s hard to share the full workflow.

But we have file input so I suspected first, that it always needs to re-execute because n8n cannot know that the files were not changed.

Error logs says

n8n_stage-main | Problem with execution 196: The workflow has issues and cannot be executed for that reason. Please fix them first.. Aborting.
n8n_stage-main | The workflow has issues and cannot be executed for that reason. Please fix them first. (execution 196)
n8n_stage-main | The workflow has issues and cannot be executed for that reason. Please fix them first.

We are on self hosted business plan.

I had broken nodes, which were not really part of the workflow, but somehow triggered this message. Still hard to track down and strange that “execute step” is not working, after the workflow was just executed successfully :slight_smile:

hello @alexm

you should fix all node errors (or disable nodes) prior executing the workflow or step. Even if the nodes are not part of the chain.
