Way to send an Update from a workflow

[poojabhutada]

Hi,

Can we send an “Update” from one workflow to another workflow? Also, I am unable to see a mechanism to send “Update” using ExternalWorkflowStub…

This is not yet supported. Either use signals or call update from an activity.

Thanks for confirming this. Now that Update is GA, is there a plan to support this (or is it considered a bad idea for some reason?). Would be a really nice simplification

This is a great idea, and it will be supported. No ETA yet.
