What do I do if I get an error on a custom fixed-choice list when importing orchestrations?

If you're creating an orchestration for a custom object, then that object's metadata must complete publishing before your orchestration import. If you receive an error about referencing an invalid fixed-choice list during orchestration import, this may mean the publishing process didn't complete before the orchestration import started. By default, the orchestration import polls the completion status of the metadata publishing for 5 minutes before giving you an error. You can increase that amount of time the import waits by creating and setting a profile option.
