Unable to save workflow with just retrieved workflow data using n8n nodes

Describe the problem/error/question

Since last update, I’m unable to use the n8n nodes to get a specific workflow and update it with exactly the same values. An error rises while saving the workflow, which is strange, as its body its exactly the same as I just fetched. This problem happens with all my existing workflows. However, I’ve created a new and simpler one for testing, and it didn’t happen.

What is the error message (if any)?

Hi @pitazzo

Sounds like it must be something to do with how you are updating the workflow json.

Can you share that workflow that causes the error with some test data pinned, so we can reproduce it?

Thanks :pray:

Hi @ria ,

thanks a lot for your interest. Here is the workflow I’m trying to update with some pinned data:

And here is the one I’m using to perform the update with pinned data as well. Please, let me know if you need any extra details.

Best,
Pedro

Hi @pitazzo

Sorry for the delayed response…

I tried to replicate this and it might have to do with some of the pinned data in your workflow Turn on channel letters. I got it working after removing all the pinned data :thinking:

Can you perhaps try to make a copy of your workflow and try without the pinned data? Also, does it work when you save the workflow to a new (empty) one? (so not overwriting the existing one)
