Mock workflows open as ReadOnly

I am trying to carry out testing using a mock workflow. But every time when I open the mock workflow in Studio, it opens as ReadOnly. This means I cannot create any mocking activities.
I checked in Windows Explorer that the file is not set to ReadOnly. I also tried restarting Studio and even my whole VM (I work in a VMWare Horizon Client).

I am at a loss for what else to try. Hopefully someone can help me fix this?

Hello,

behavior is totally expected, you cannot edit a mocked workflow, you need to edit the real workflow instead.

If you want to mock something, go to your mock worklow , right click in an activity or sequence and select “Surround with Mock”. It will results in a splitted activity, on the left the read only part from workflow, and right you will be able to edit and mock this specific part.

If changes are made to the workflow right click your mock and click synchronize to be sure to have latest updates.

Regards

A context menu in a software application shows an option labeled "Surround with mock" below the "Debug" menu item and above the "Help" menu item. (Captioned by AI)

you will need to edit original workflow, mock tests ready only, once you edit the original workflow the mock would be updated accordingly

Thanks @Matt67, that was the solution :slight_smile:
