extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue might be related to a misconfiguration or a bug in the n8n workflow management system, causing redirects to a specific workflow named 'My Workflow 4'.

Guidance

  • Verify that there are no duplicate or conflicting workflow names, especially 'My Workflow 4', which might be causing the redirect.
  • Check the workflow settings and configuration for any recently made changes that could be triggering this behavior.
  • Inspect the database (sqlite) for any corrupted or inconsistent data that might be affecting workflow navigation.
  • Review the n8n documentation and community forums for known issues or similar problems related to workflow redirects.

Notes

The provided information does not include specific details about the workflow configuration or recent changes, making it challenging to pinpoint the exact cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try renaming the 'My Workflow 4' workflow to a unique name and see if the issue persists, to isolate if the problem is name-related.
