Workflow ERROR on Save
Workflow definitions are stored in ObjectStore which require types to be registered before saved. The registration of types for the builtin workflows are done in services. So make sure you have the externalservices registration in your episerver.config:
<workflowSettings>
....Here goes defintions
<externalServices>
<!-- externalService: Custom services that is to be registered with workflow runtime-->
<externalService type="EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.Workflows.ApprovalService,EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation" />
<externalService type="EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.Workflows.ReadyForTranslationService,EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation" />
<externalService type="EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.Workflows.RequestForFeedbackService,EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation" />
</externalServices>
</workflowSettings>
