The OOTB DAM Update Asset Workflow is running as non transient

The OOTB DAM Update Asset Workflow is running as non transient even after the transient checkbox is checked by default (Even the transient property for the workflow in crx is showing value as true). We have not made any changes to this workflow and observing this after a runmode change from dynamicmedia to dynamicmedia_scene7. Could this be a bug due to the same ? As we can see the instances running with dynamicmedia runmode do not have this issue. AEM version 6.5.11

Hi,

 

>"Non-transient" transient DAM Update asset is not a bug, but the expected behavior, and it's documented here https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/developing/extending-aem/extending-workflows/workflows.html?lang=en#transient-workflows

 

>This workflow information stored under /var is not important, once the workflow instance is completed we can safely purge(remove) it if we want.

 

> This workflow information could be needed for two reasons:

 

1) Potential legal requirements (Banks, Government Bodies)

 

2) For troubleshooting purposes.
