I know this is more of a Sharepoint Designer question, but if a solution could be found using Infopath that would be great as well (although I doubt it.)
I currently have a list with hundreds of items already populated. The workflow for the list sends updates whenever a change is made to any item to the person who submitted the item, along with assigns a project number, sends reminders to the employee working the list, etc. A new manager has requested a new field be added to the list, and have it retroactively set for all the existing items.
I need to find a way to disable the workflow so it does not send updates for all of the existing items. I don't want to remove the workflow association because any items are in the middle of the workflow, and I don't want the alerts and updates on those items to be lost.
Anyone have any ideas?
