Workflow failing in the second iteration

Hi,

I doubt that this hotfix will work for 5.5 as the issue certainly doesn't exist on 5.5. That said i think you can't use the OOTB goto with 5.5. As far as i remember it never worked for us. the GoTo step of 5.6 on the other hand works just fine. Now since we are on 5.6.1 we are using the OOTB GoTo process. I could find a old reference of this class and providing the same here. You may have to change few things here and there.

Cheers,

Himanshu
