Am creating a new workflow by using the existing workflow ( i.e. By copying the existing workflow under /etc/workflow/models/). But when I do this the newly created workflow is not saved for any future modifications. Observed that the newly created workflow is having a version as jcr:rootVersion and also the model is having the jcr:predecessors property of Type Reference[] is having a value as shown in below screenshot. Can’t we reuse the existing models in the way which I am trying ? or how to restrict the value ?

have you tried to copy the whole page? the flow node is also part of the workflow defition. – santiagozky
The node name issue got resolved by deleting the ".../sample-workflow123/jcr:content/model" model node. And it is re-created when i hit save for the next time. But problem here is for further modifactions the version number is not changing from 1.0 to next levels (i.e 1.1, 1.2, etc) – VAr

modification in jcr are not the best supported ones. If you want to create a new workflow use the workflow console, create a new workflow and add the steps you want to reuse. Also you can reuse workflow by adding them to a container step. I'm not sure which one do you want to use, if you want to expand an already existing workflow then go on and create a new one and add the pages, if you just want to call an already existing workflow than use the container step. Take care, the container step will generate a new workflow instance from the sub workflow and the main workflow won't wait for the sub-workflow to finish.
