How do I update an initiation form to reflect changes in Initiation parameters?

Question

In my List Workflow I've updated some of the properties of an Initiation Parameter, including the description that's visible in the form.

According to the workflow settings for the Library the workflow version changes when I publish yet the Initiation Form fails to reflect these new changes. When I return to the Workflow in SPD2010 I can see the changes I made in the Initiation Parameter section.

Am I missing a critical step? Is this a flaw in SPD? I've tried opening the initiation form in InfoPath 2010 to save and publish with no differing results.

Please advise.

Edit May 1, 2013: If there's a possible way to remove the old initiation parameters/form and create them anew I would be open to this as well.

Answer 1

You should edit the Workflow via SharePoint Designer 2010, under workflow properties you should find FORMS and there you should have the Initiation form. Opening that for editing should force re-reading parameters and update it.

Did you actually tried that?

Answer 2

It seems as though my own meddling may have detached the form from the workflow. I admit, I was poking around in InfoPath and could have saved/published a change I didn't understand. This resulted in the form being de-linked from the Workflow itself.

The solution was to recreate the workflow under a different name, remove the old one, and publish again. The result is that changes to the Initiation Parameters are now seen in the initiation form.
