Execute Flow

Post by digitalstone » 17 Sep 2018 12:47

The idea
To add a little optional script to the already existing action "Execute Flow".
Underneath the 3 existing checkboxes, there would be a 4th one to activate a script-field beneath that for creating variables and their values.

Some flows that are meant to be called upon, for example, need input variables to be processed further down the line.

Reasons:
-Saving space within the calling flow.
-Executing a flow with the needed variables for the specific called flow that are "just-for-it" all at once.
-Reusing this action would make it even more efficient.
-I think this would be relatively doable (sub-) feature to implement since the the needed aspects of the application already exist.

Something similar was discussed here: User-defined Templates?

I have definitely planned to extend the execute flows action to make passing input parameters to flows (and return values) more powerful. I'll take your suggestion into consideration.

Thanks & Regards,
Martin
