I'm working on a workflow with SharePoint Designer. I have added a "Hold" option to the Task Outcome field, but the option isn't appearing in the Task Outcome options in SharePoint Designer (2013). I had previously done this for another workflow on another site collection, and the option appeared properly.

Is there a time delay between when the option appears, and is there a way to force SPD to update the field's options?

  • I'm not sure if that would work, you can try creating custom CT, site column with Task Options

Make sure you set Yes under "Update all content types inheriting from this type" for the Task Outcome field. After that, create a 2013 workflow again, it should have this outcome option. enter image description here

If this issue still exists, you can create a new custom workflow task(SharePoint 2013) content type and create a new TaskOutcome field and set options for the field and then create a 2013 workflow using this custom workflow task content type.

  • This is what I missed! I didn't update the Site's content type, just the subsite's column!
