Workflow engine is configured by zen. We do not support it and do not recommend to use it anymore. Please, use any other workflow engine e.g. Temporal .

Since the 2405 release, using Aidbox in FHIR schema validation engine is recommended, which is incompatible with zen or Entity/Attribute options.

Setup Aidbox with FHIR Schema validation engine
