Re: Bug? Text on action/condition in flow editor is not upda
Don't think so. This has happened with other flows earlier. If I deselect the flow and save and open the action enable flow, it is just one flow bil slutpunkt. But when I check it and return to the front it has the " " around the name and if I look at the list there are duplicates of the flow in the list. I have sent you the log from my husband's address.

Thanks for the flows! Indeed, I can reproduce this with your flows.
You have just one flow defined but the flow contains a trailing space. The selection list does not handle this case properly and offers the flow two times when you selected the flow already once before in the list.
This should be fixed in the next update.

Great, can I fix it then by renaming the flow and make sure there is no trailing space? Guess it's the keyboard's automatic inserting spacing that is the felon.

Yes, you can remove the space from the flow but you also have to change the names in the action Execute Flows. Unfortunately keyboards tend to insert trailing spaces when text is pasted or when suggestions from the auto complete-list are selected. I will add a warning to the rename dialog, so the trailing space is more apparent.

I figured it out and have already done it, but thanks anyway
. Yes that would be very good since for me, unknown trailing spaces, have made functioning flows, stop working, (not executing from within another flow) without me understanding why earlier (copy, paste probably). As has a comma in the flow name.

Re: Bug? Text on action/condition in flow editor is not upda
I will try to explain one example when the name of the action is not updated correctly.I think it has to do with me (and others maybe) not being sure of the order and logic behind this usage "reuse, overwrite" when it comes to having the same actions like "execute flows" in more than place.
In the example below I have copied and pasted a sleep action (quicker than to make a new sleep action). I change the duration from 5s to 1s. Since AM says the action is used multiple times, i say "this usage" should be affected, since the other sleep action is in flow that has nothing to do with this. When saving,"an action with the same name already exists" I choose reuse. Then afterward it still says 5s but if I open it it says 1s.
I certainly have problems with this at times. I have by mistake changed a lot of flows, when I tried to get out of this problem.
See pics below.

Here are the pics. I am afraid they did not come in the right order.

Many thanks for the detailed description!
I was able to reproduce this issue, will be fixed in the next update.
In the meantime you can correct the flow display by pressing back to switch to the flow list and then open the flow again.

Great!!! Happy you could reproduce this error, since it has been a pain in the a... for me, involuntary changing actions for me all over the place ( when for example trying to use overwrite to get out of the problem).

I have not known which part I would assume the dialog is referring to, since the name label and the action differ
