Can't add a workflow attribute

4

I currently have 91 attributes in a workflow that I am creating.  When I try to add another, the little orange button pops up very briefly, goes away, and then nothing happens.  I went into another workflow which has just a few attributes and successfully added another.  Any ideas for troubleshooting this issue?  Thanks.

    Hey Eddie, are you seeing any errors in the Rock Exception Log?  I have a feeling there may be a timeout issue or something similar.  Hopefully an error is being generated in that log and you can get more information.  (And that's a ton of attributes! Can I ask what you're doing with that workflow?)

    Bronson, thanks a bunch for the feedback.  I just went into the Exception List and don't see anything from today at all and I have attempted this multiple times today.  About the ton of attributes, what I learned at the Rock Conference was the phrase Minimum Viable Implementation.  So, we decided that our event request system would be the place for us to start in the Rock.  Our current ChMS doesn't have near the workflow flexibility, so thought we would give this a shot.  Anyway, this workflow is a huge business process, so .... tons of attributes.  Currently we have about 11 activities (more to come) with multiple actions per activity.  As I have been developing I have see a real latency in the design of this workflow.  I add an attribute and try to re-order the attribute and wait for quite a few seconds before I can move on.  I can go into a test workflow and add and change stuff in a fraction of the time.  Currently, we are using an SQL Express installation, but I wouldn't think we should see such latency because of that.  I guess the way the 90+ attributes are handled slows things down a good bit.

    Still trying to troubleshoot this issue since we are dead in the water with it.  Besides not being able to add another workflow attribute, we also can't edit nor delete.  Slight blip off the screen and then nothing.  I can move to another part of Rock, but nothing more in that workflow.  I also can't add an action to an activity in this workflow while in this state.  As I mentioned, no exceptions are being thrown.  So, I pulled up the 90+ attributes in SQL and didn't see anything outstanding.  I used DELETE from to remove an attribute, logged back into Rock and could then edit and add attributes, etc.  I added about 3 new ones and we are back to the locked up state again.  Anyone think of other ways to troubleshoot this problem?
