When a submicroflow is added to a microflow, I would like the input parameters to be filled automatically.
Current process (example)
- Create a microflow ‘IVK_Project_Delete’
- Add input parameter $Project
- Drag in a priorly created microflow which has $Project as input parameter
- [Manual process to select the input parameter for the subflow]
- Double click the subflow
- Double click on argument
- Type $
- Double click ‘$Project’ (from a list of options of which only one fits the input parameter)
- Click OK
- Click OK again
Autofill option (idea)
Instead of having to go through the above manual process I would like to see an option which I can select in the modeler, or it can be standard, after which input parameters of a submicroflow get autofilled
- If there is one object or variable which meets the type of the input parameter, autofill it
- If there are more than one that meet the above requirement, autofill it with the nearest
Thx @ Tim :-)
Yeah, good idea.
Meanwhile, I have a tip for you:
- Create a microflow ‘IVK_Project_Delete’
- Add input parameter $Project
- Drag in a priorly created microflow which has $Project as input parameter
- Hit Enter (the subflow opens)
- Hit Enter (the ‘Select...’ button is triggered)
- Hit Enter (the currently microflow will be inserted again)
Your parameters are filled! And, as a bonus:
- Hit CTRL+Enter to close the popup.
To summarise: drag the flow, hit Enter 3 times, hit CTRL+Enter. :)
