Cant save or deactivate workflow

Questions
1

Heyy i’m quite new to n8n and im using the newest browser version.

I’ve almost finished building my workflow and im working together with someone who activated it. Now the problem is dat there are errors in the workflow but when i fix the bugs and try to save, the save button keeps displaying a loading state and it never actually saves the flow. So then i want to deactivate the workflow but the same issue arrises. I don’t understand why it’s not working. can someone help me? thanks alot ahead!

note: i get a 524 error.

Hi, we had a similar issue, we can’t save, deactivate our workflow.
What we did, manually we changed the value of the boolean “active” to false, in the collection “workflow_entity” of the database.

It unlocked the blocked state for us ! After this handling the workflow was fully accessible

Go ahead to your server logs, and maybe you will find out your problem.

Note: im using n8n cloud so i think i dont have direct acces to the database

Ho sorry i forgot to mention we are using the self hosted version, for the cloud version i don’t know what it’s possible to do.

What you can try it’s to drive your workflow via the API : activate/delete/etc. => like this API reference | n8n Docs
Maybe it will unlock your issue …

Thanks i will look in to this. Right now the person im working with has the rights so i asked him to upgrade my role in the dashboard. once thats done ill try updating to see if that fixes the issue and if not then ill get to coding with the api. I didn’t know that this was a possabillity so as long as i can code ill probably be able to fix the issue. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks again!
