Hi,
how could find a list of available kinds or kind of specific workflow when executing argo submit --from?

I would like to submit a workflow from existing workflow, not cronWorkflow as the example
I tried to execute argo submit --from wf/upgrade-smvr-workflow --watch but it does not work.
And i did not find the kind from the output of argo get <workflow-name> either;

to be confirmed. It seems to be short name of the ressources :
kubectl -n <YOUR_NAMESPACE> api-resources | grep argoproj.io

For instance:

• cronworkflows is cronwf
• workflowtemplates is wftmpl

Would it be possible to have something similar to --exit-code-from in Docker Compose?

How to use the workflow template in the argo submit command? I mean there should be a way to use the workflow template since in UI it allows to use the template to create the workflow. And I assume in CLI, is should also be possible

argo submit --from wftmpl/my-wftmpl

[manju-rn]

argo submit --from wftmpl/my-wftmpl

Thanks. And if this needs to be implemented in the workflow and workflow template

  templates:
  - name: build-steps
    steps:
    - - name: step1        
        templateRef: # Reference to other WorkflowTemplate (it is different from template, which is a task) defined in the same namespace
          name: my-container-template # Name of the Workflow template
          template: my-container # Reference to the actual template

Workflow Template

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: WorkflowTemplate
metadata:
  name: my-container-template
  namespace: argo-events
spec:
  templates:
  - name: my-container
    container:
      image: python

Yes and if you want to use the entire WorkflowTemplate instead of a single template of it, you can use a workflowTemplateRef
