I can reproduce the same problem. According to my tests, if the workflow runs on the create event is never triggered on the template repository, when creating a new repository with the template repository, the workflow will not be triggered on the new repository. However, after I triggered the workflow at least once on the template repository, the problem no longer occurs. When I tried again to create a new repository with the template repository, the workflow can be triggered as expected on the new template repository. |

Well after many tries and many errors I finally gave up on using on create but I found a workaround. More details: Well in the end, after hours of tries and error I got to the conclusion that for a workflow to run after a template creation it must have ran successfully on the last commit made on the source repo. So I can’t use on create but I have fond a workaround. |
