Hi.

I just did an engine upgrade of my 2024.0.1 Flow instance to the very latest version 2024.2.1

I then created a workspace in Form version 2024.2.0, and tried to upload it to Flow to test deployment parameters.

But I get a warning stating, that Flow is older than Form, and the workspace is unrunnable on Flow.

This is not good, as an engine upgrade is a nice way to keep Flow running with the latest version without the hazzle of major downtime and reinstallation.

Why can’t the Flow 2024 UI handle engine upgrades, and why is my workspace blocked on Flow ?

Is this a remote engine service, or a local engine?

I think Higher upgrade should be able to open lower files

Local engines. I haven’t messed with remote engines, so that distinction wasn’t apparent.

And just to be clear, it’s not as if Flow doesn’t know the version (build number) of the engine(s):
