The Hidden Migration Problem

The Hidden Migration Problem

When your automation platform silently breaks workflows

The Technical Issue

The n8n 0.214.3 migration issue specifically affects nodes with multiple outputs:

  • If nodes with true/false paths
  • Switch nodes with multiple conditional branches
  • Compare Datasets nodes with various output options

The Real Business Impact:

  • Critical decision logic becomes unpredictable
  • Data may flow to incorrect destinations
  • Conditional branches may execute incorrectly
  • Sequential workflows break at crucial decision points

Without proper verification, these issues remain hidden until they cause significant business disruption—from delayed customer responses to failed data processing or incomplete transactions.
