I am trying to add a simple custom workflow to a custom list in SharePoint, but i cannot add the workflow in SharePoint Designer.
I open the relevant list and click the New button on the workflow panel, the 'Add new Workflow' box pops up and I can fill in the Name and Description. I click OK, and it looks like it is doing something, but no workflow appears in the list. Sometimes (but not every time) I try it gives me a 'retrieving information from server' message, but then that disappears and the workflow isn't there.
The workflow also doesn't appear in the Workflow list and the same error persists in all lists on this site and subsites.
I have also tried to create a workflow directly from SharePoint and my only option is the three-state workflow. I have tried to test with this but cannot get this to work either.
I followed this post:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/153/p/74619/282470.aspx#282470
along with a few other similar posts and I have tried the following suggested solutions:
attempt to perform action from another machine
Uninstalling and re-installing SPD2010
Uninstalling SPD2010 and installing SPD2013
I have replicated the issue on multiple machines which tells me it is a setting unique to this site, and i have also tested adding a workflow to a separate Office365 SharePoint site (unrelated to this one) which works perfectly. However, that is an E3 plan and the site i have issues with is a P plan. Is there a restriction on workflows or other functionality for P plan?
It may be a setting but I cannot find it - any suggestions welcome!
Thanks.
