I’ve found a bug that is persisting in all versions of 2.4+. I upgraded from 1.x to 2.6.3 and even newer to fix it but cannot.
The bug is on self hosted, as well as n8n cloud.
Surprised this hasn’t been reported yet.
This was not present in 1.x as I built my workflows using this method and they worked fine until now. I’ve tested in a fresh 2.x workflow just the wait node with these settings to ensrue it wasn’t some upgrade issue from the workflow code. Still the error persists.
Describe the problem/error/question
Recreat with the following steps:
The WAIT node. If you set it to “on webhook call” with any settings. It works. However, if you go to Add Option and add a Webhook Suffix (anything at all), it will now no longer allow you to publish the workflow unless you delete the webhook suffix. The mere act of creating that suffix breaks whatever it is in the backend.
Interestingly, in the error itself it’s saying to fix the “other” workflow which is the same workflow in itself. Which leads me to believe there’s a constraint on the backend database with the new publish settings that’s causing a deduplication issue.
What is the error message (if any)?
Conflicting Trigger Path
A trigger 'Wait' in the workflow 'My workflow 8' uses a conflicting URL path, so this workflow cannot be activated
You can deactivate My workflow 8 and activate this one, or insert a new trigger node of the same type in either workflow:
https://plumehead.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/testywaters2341
Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node
Last node irrelevant. It never allows you to publish. Trigger can be anything. Webhook, execute subworkflow, etc. It’s the wait node in this specific setting that is the issue.
