Just like it says, turns out when you update a list or library field using an InfoPath rule, it doesn't notify the workflow the item was updated, so my workflow is just stopping. I have verified that the item has changed to Yes, from No.
Anyone know a way around this? Or am I being stupid and missing something easy here?

When we are doing the customization of a work item type in VSTS. Do we also have the ability to track the history of the customization itself?
For example, we are trying to find out when the start date field was added to our customized Bug work item type.
A field was not there in a previous Increment but we noticed it recently. Just want to find out if there is a date captured somewhere that tells us when it was added or who may have added it?
Unfortunately we cannot get the information from VSTS for now. No date or history included from the retrieved process information via REST API.
However there's already a user voice submitted here to suggest the feature to add Activity Log to VSTS to track user accesses, you can go and vote it up or submit a new one to suggest the feature again to achieve that is future release.
For now as a workaround we suggest that you can ask the team members to add corresponding comments in description area after completing the customization for the process... Thus you can track the history of the customization...
This should be easy, but it looks like it isn't.
I should start by saying that while this is a 2013 workflow, I am doing a 2010 workflow instead, as it has things I need in it.
I set an initiation form parameter called Syndication. which is a simple Yes / No drop down list. As you know, as soon as the parameter is set, the workflow automatically creates a variable for that value.
So I created a field in my workflow tasks list also called Syndication, which is also a Yes / No choice field. Then I went into the workflow and set up an update item in this list, chose the workflow task list, choose the Syndication field, and then choose to update with the workflow variable Syndication.
Here it is:

The issue is that when a user selects yes everything works fine, when a user selects no, however, the workflow simply gives am error occurred, and doesn't tell me what the error is.
Anything would be great.
I have a document library in share point 2013 foundation and I need to trigger a workflow to send email to the administrator only when the version of the listitem of document library was changed. I have a attached a workflow to the list item of document library when item was added and updated. I need to put a condition in the designer workflow to check whether the version of the document is changed or not. Can anyone help me on this please.
Thanks in Advance.
Ok, one thing you can do is to store the current version in an another field, let's say we name it "Previous version".
When a change occured, you check if the version of the newest item is equal to your field "Previous version", if not, you know that the version have changed and :
You send an email to the administrator
Then you update your field "Previous version".
Seems pretty easy and works with Event Receiver or Workflow Designer.
Does Sitecore store the date of first publication for an item? I haven't been able to find anything like that in the Sitecore docs, so I am guessing I will have to build something that responds to a publishing event like this, but I would like to be sure..
Sitecore stores only the Created Date and Last Changed date in the statistics section of an item. You are correct in your assumption, that to store and use something such as a First Published Date you would have to cook up a solution for it yourself.
I have an InfoPath form that requires workflow. The form is build from a cXML schema in BizTalk,then dropped into a forms library for workflow. The user opens the infopath form, reviews and picks one of several options: re-submit, archive, escalate, etc.
My question is how best to workflow this? Do you have the buttons on the form update a status/action field, and have the workflow listen for an onChange event?
Can you update a property on the library, that is not a field on the form? for example, if status is not part of the form schema, but is a column on the document library.
How do ye typically do this?
thanks.
You don't necessarily need to create an event listener for the forms library. SharePoint workflows can be configured to start only whenever a document in the library is modified.
Hope that helps.
