I save one of my wrapped metanodes into a KNIME group on our KNIME server.
When I tried to execute the workflow in a local context, I have no issue but if I tried to execute it in a server context, I got the follwoing error "Could not update linked metanode in [WORKFLOW_NAME)".
Regarding the relative path, I cannot select this option when I create the template on the server (see attachment file).
This option is enable only on local.
So if I saved the metanode using this option using the same workflow group path as it exists on the server and then I put this saved metanode on the server; but I still got the error.
I would suggest you to have a look at the following example workflow on the EXAMPLES Server: knime://EXAMPLES/50_Applications/28_Predicting_Departure_Delays.
If you want to create a linked metanode using a workflow relative link, you should save it first in your local machine. Then you can move the all workflow group, containing the workflows and the linked metanode on the KNIME Server.
