Problem running workflow. Please resolve outstanding issues before you activate it

Questions

Hello,
In my n8n Docker workflow, I have a “Form” node that causes an error 9 times out of 10: “Problem running workflow. Please resolve outstanding issues before you activate it.”
Could someone help me?

Hi there, when there are errors, usually during testing, you can’t activate the workflow.
You have to save the workflow, reload then activate it.
If this issue still occurs, could you give some more details? a screenshot or posting your workflow here would help/

Hi Nathalie, did you try disconnecting the problematic node and adding it back? I’m also experiencing the same problem.

First you have to activate the workflow by toggling Active .
Then get the Url from the form and open your browser , paste that Url and fill the form.
Then in the Execution tab you can see if there are error or not.
