Workflow execution returning empty

I’m seeing an issue with sub-workflow executions in n8n.

  • The main workflow execution is filled with data.

  • I’m calling a sub-workflow using the When executed by another Workflow node*.*

  • Most of the time it works fine and the sub-workflow returns data as expected.

  • But in about 1% of ~200 runs, the sub-workflow execution is empty.

What I expected:

  • The sub-workflow to consistently receive input and return processed data back.

What actually happens:

  • Main workflow shows all the input data, always, also in the cases of “empty” errors in the sub-workflow.

  • Sub-workflow runs, but the execution log for those failing runs is empty.
