Generic Error: Error while saving the recipe. Can't modify running recipe

Modified on: Wed, Jun 28, 2017 at 12:23 PM


Error:  Error while saving the recipe. Can't modify running recipe

 

What does this mean?: This means that your recipe was started from another source while you were editing your recipe. This happens most often with Workbot and Callable recipes.


Solution: 

For generic recipes, make sure you refresh before you start editing your recipe to ensure your recipe isn't already running. 

For Workbot recipes, make sure no one is using the command while you are editing the recipe, or if needed, you can temporarily change the command prompt and save the recipe to make sure it can't be used until you are done editing. 

For callable recipes, you should turn off all recipes that call that recipe while you are editing it.
