Hi,
I would like to know if SharePoint Designer 2013 users with SharePoint 2013 SP1 has had these issues:
Occasion 1: In a 2010 workflow (not connected to a content type when workflow was created) with associated (custom) content types, all the content types dissappeared from the site collection. All the custom site columns where gone even when inspecting the columns from Site Settings in SharePoint 2013. I had to recreate the SharePoint site. Luckily it was the test site not the production site.
Occasion 2: In a 2010 workflow connected to Document content type, to be able to use the document title in the email to the user, the date-time columns in a child Documnt content type Information Policy settings are screwed up. User account columns are listed as date-time columns when I try to set to start a workflow. Further the CurrntItem:Title column is now missing in SharePoint Designer 2013 and can't be set in the email.
My conclusion so far is that to create 2010 workflows in SharePoint Desgner 2013 is very risky!
Has other similar experience and is there any suggestions how to improve SharePoint Designer 2013 stability?
I'm a bit scared to destroy the production Sharepoint system - that would be unacceptable!. I don't dare to use SharePoint Designer 2013 in production enviroment except maybe to Publish/Publish Globally.
Hope for help and suggestions.
