Hi all — running into a workflow-loading issue in Auto Label and wanted to check if others have seen this. I have a published workflow (Input → Object Detection Model → Dataset Upload → Outputs) that works fine via the API, but fails when selected through **Auto Label’s “My Workflows” tab**.

**What happens:** On selection, it briefly shows “Not compatible,” then quickly switches to “Failed to load workflow interface.” Underneath, there’s a 500 error on the `describe_workflow_interface` endpoint.

**Tried so far:** renamed output blocks, made a simplified version of the workflow (no Dataset Upload block) — same error both times. Confirmed the workflow works fine via direct API calls. Hard-refreshed and checked [status.roboflow.com](http://status.roboflow.com) — no outages.

Seems isolated to the “My Workflows” selector itself, not the workflow or a real compatibility issue. Searched the forum and AI assistant, found nothing matching — Any pointers on what might be causing the 500 on `describe_workflow_interface`, or a workaround, would be really helpful.

- **Project Type: object detection**
- **Operating System & Browser: windows / google chrome**
- **Project Universe Link or Workspace/Project ID: private workspace id**
- **Do you grant Roboflow Support permission to access your Workspace for troubleshooting? (Yes/No): No**
