Australian Data Centre Bug Workaround – “Invalid Argument” in Workflow/Business Process Flow Editor

Recently it’s been reported by my colleague and a fellow Australian CRM MVP, Guy Riddle, that there is a bug on Australian CRM Online on Workflow/Business Process Flow editor that showing “Invalid Argument” error screen:

And on the Workflow editor it will produce an error log similar to:

Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault, Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]]: A validation error occurred. The languageCode = 3081 not a provisioned or enabled LCID.Detail:

  </InnerFault>

  <TraceText i:nil="true" />

</OrganizationServiceFault>

One of the workaround that my colleague found is to set the format to English (US). To change this, navigate to Options > Formats > Change “Current Format” to English (United States)

Now you should be able to work on Workflow/Business Process Flow editor again.

HTH!
