Hi Thiomir,

I have one query that how should we be able to update the options of a running workflow.

Say I have a workflow with name ABC with some workflow options now I decided to change to workflow options and restarted the worker it will give me and exception of WorkflowExeceutionAlreadyStarted I have handled this in catch block but workflow options remain the same they are not updated.

Could you please help in this case.

Thanks!!
