Missing properties in workflow 2013 definition

On SharePoint workflow 2010 platform, we can get some properties straightaway from list.WorkflowAssociations, such as "AllowManual, AutoStartChange, AutoStartCreate, HistoryListTitle, TaskListTitle, Created, Modified".

However, they are not there in Workflow 2013.

Here is the tip: all properties are still there, but in different place.

Below is the PowerShell script based on SharePoint Online and CSOM.

We can get the values from "SubscriptionCollection"

$WfServicesManager = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager($ctx,$Web)

$WfSubscriptionService = $WfServicesManager.GetWorkflowSubscriptionService()

$WfSubscriptionCollection = $WfSubscriptionService.EnumerateSubscriptions()

$ctx.Load($WfServicesManager)
$ctx.Load($WfSubscriptionService)
$ctx.Load($WfSubscriptionCollection)

$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

ForEach ($WfObj in $WfSubscriptionCollection.GetEnumerator()){

$ManualStart = $WfObj.PropertyDefinitions["SharePointWorkflowContext.Subscription.EventType"] -Match "WorkflowStart#;"

$AutoStartChange = $WfObj.PropertyDefinitions["SharePointWorkflowContext.Subscription.EventType"] -Match "ItemUpdated#;"

$AutoStartCreate = $WfObj.PropertyDefinitions["SharePointWorkflowContext.Subscription.EventType"] -Match "ItemAdded#;"

$HistoryListId = $WfObj.PropertyDefinitions["HistoryListId"]

$TaskListId = $WfObj.PropertyDefinitions["TaskListId"]

$Created = $WfObj.PropertyDefinitions["SharePointWorkflowContext.Subscription.CreatedDate"]

$Modified = $WfObj.PropertyDefinitions["SharePointWorkflowContext.Subscription.ModifiedDate"]

}

=====================
Or, we can get the values from "DefinitionCollection"

$WfServicesManager = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.WorkflowServices.WorkflowServicesManager($ctx,$Web) $WfDeploymentService = $WfServicesManager.GetWorkflowDeploymentService() $WfDefinitionCollection = $WfDeploymentService.EnumerateDefinitions($false)

$ctx.Load($WfServicesManager)
$ctx.Load($WfDeploymentService)
$ctx.Load($WfDefinitionCollection)

$ctx.ExecuteQuery()

ForEach ($WfObj in $WfDefinitionCollection.GetEnumerator()){
 $ManualStart = [System.Convert]::ToBoolean($WfObj.Properties["SPDConfig.StartManually"])   $AutoStartChange = [System.Convert]::ToBoolean($WfObj.Properties["SPDConfig.StartOnChange"])
 $AutoStartCreate = [System.Convert]::ToBoolean($WfObj.Properties["SPDConfig.StartOnCreate"])
 $HistoryListId = $WfObj.Properties["HistoryListId"].Trim("{","}")
 $TaskListId = $WfObj.Properties["TaskListId"].Trim("{","}")

 $Created = $WfObj.Properties["Definition.CreatedDate"]
 $Modified = $WfObj.Properties["Definition.ModifiedDate"]
 $AutosetStatusToStageName = [System.Convert]::ToBoolean($WfObj.Properties["AutosetStatusToStageName"])
}
