    <p>I am developing, a simple SharePoint Sequential Workflow which should be bound to a document library. When associating the little workflow to a document library, I checked these options </p> <ul> <li>Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Items Permissions. </li> <li>Start this workflow when a new item is created.</li> <li>Start this workflow when an item is changed.</li> </ul> <p>Now I upload a document to this library and the workflow starts and for instance sends a mail. It completes and everything is fine.</p> <p>When I select Edit Properties on the new Item and save a change, the workflow is fired again. Absolutely what we expected.</p> <p>Even when copying a new Item into the library with help of the Copy.asmx Webservice, the workflow starts normally.</p> <p>But <strong>now</strong> I want to update the item <strong>via the SharePoint WebService Lists.asmx</strong>.</p> <p>My <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_Application_Markup_Language" rel="nofollow noreferrer">CAML</a> goes here:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Method ID='1' Cmd='Update'&gt; &lt;Field Name='ID'&gt;1&lt;/Field&gt; &lt;Field Name='myDummyPropertyField'&gt;NewValue&lt;/Field&gt; &lt;/Method&gt; </code></pre> <p>The Item is being updated (timestamp changed and a dummy property, too) but the workflow does NOT start again. </p> <p>This behaviour is reproducable on our development <strong>and</strong> test system.</p> <p>Checking the error logs (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\LOGS) I discovered a strange error message:</p> <pre><code>09/25/2008 16:51:40.17 w3wp.exe (0x1D94) 0x1D60 Windows SharePoint Services General 6875 Critical Error loading and running event receiver Microsoft.SharePoint.Workflow.SPWorkflowAutostartEventReceiver in Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c. Additional information is below. : The object specified does not belong to a list. </code></pre> <p>Anybody who can confirm this behavior? Or any solution hints? </p> <hr> <p>I am keeping you informed of any developments on this topic. </p>

    1. COWe have seen this behavior with the Lists.asmx web service and workflows this past week with a very similar scenario. At this point we are working around this with additional web service calls that duplicate the workflow functionality. I would love to hear about any developments you come across!

    2. CO@barryd: Do you think your workaroung will do it in production use? And did you found a way to trigger workflows externally? I've opened a case at microsoft customer support services. I hope they will get us through this issue. Of course, I will post any news here!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
