Execute flow as "procedure" with parameters

Post by kintrupf » 05 Jan 2014 10:53

I'm using some flows as "procedures" in other flows with the "Execute flow" action.
This works very well, but it is a bit cumbersome to pass arbitrary variable values to the "sub"-flow.
To do this I need to define one or more local variables with additional "Script" actions before I use the "Execute flow".

Would it be possible to add an additional field for "parameters" to the "Execute flow" action which would be passed to the executed flow as normal variables?
Something like a list with name/value pairs or such would be great!

mee too!
also it is wonderfull if i can run flows just in script, something like this:
parameters = newList(1, 'abc', 2);
FlowVariables = ExecuteFlow('FlowName', Parameters);

FlowVariables - Map(?) of all returned variables from flow, or add special Flow_Result variable for returning results from flow

me too
Additionally it would be a nice feature if variables would be supported as Flow pattern list and Exclude flow pattern list.
