Not sure if anybody else has run into this. I created a SharePoint 2013 workflow that did absolutely nothing. I told it to run "whenever an item is changed." My problem is that workflows are running indefinitely. When associating a workflow, it automatically creates a "Hyperlink or URL" field that for that workflow. It seems when the item is updated, that field is updated to point to the latest instance of the workflow. Because it is updated, it continuously fires the workflow. I tried to delete the column, but then the workflow hangs at started indefinitely.
Has anybody else run into similar problems running workflows in SharePoint 2013.
