Description
Currently, workflows in Monday.com cannot be updated if there are active runs in progress. When attempting to make changes, users are prompted to stop all active runs before saving. For many teams, this is a major limitation since most workflows are always running. The only workaround is to duplicate the workflow, make the updates, and re-enable it, which leads to confusion, broken connections, and unnecessary duplication.
It would be much more efficient if workflow updates could be made without disrupting active runs. Existing runs could continue using the version that was active when they started, while new workflow runs would automatically use the updated version moving forward. This would allow for continuous improvement and maintenance without interrupting operations or creating redundant copies.
What are you trying to achieve
I’m trying to make it possible to update workflows without having to stop or duplicate them. The goal is to allow live edits that apply only to new workflow runs, while any existing active runs continue uninterrupted. This would prevent workflow stoppages, eliminate the need for duplicating and re-mapping automations, and make it easier to maintain and refine workflows that are always running.
