"Delete Flow" as Action?

Post by kintrupf » 14 Aug 2014 14:48

One can import/export and enable/disable flows from within other flows, but it is not possible to delete flows.
Would it be possible to add that action?

Should be possible to add, but I feared that users would accidentally delete some flows. Maybe I could add the action without support for glob patterns so that the action does not allow to wipe everything at once.

Thank you very much, that would be fine! I don't need glob patterns for this anyway ;-)
But you should include the option to also delete the contained actions, triggers and condition as if the flow was deleted from the menu.

Can you give an example of when this feature would be used? Since you also can't create or dublicate flows from a flow.

I use it for a dirty trick to make a location trigger work with a location from a variable. Something like "self-modifying" flows... ;)
I'll post an example soon!
