This workflow includes workflow parameters. When applying a space workflow

a parameter reference value may only be available for use by the workflow after a workflow process, such as a transition, occurs. For example, the initial state should not include the use of the parameter reference value for a due date or pre-assigned reviewers for approvals to avoid blocking your workflow. Alternatively, you can choose to Initialize states when applying a space workflow
the parameter value is retrieved from the space parameters dashboard on first application of a workflow to a page or blog post. This value may be different to the value used in the workflow template
