Hi at all, 
 
I have a flow that my colleague maintained, he left the company and I have to change the address in the flows now to my account. 
If I change it to a valid address the flow is still showing the errors for the old account and I cannot save the new parts at all. 
 
The flow Ends in a Deadlock with errors poiting to what I try to fix with the new address. 
 
How can I give the new valid connection and save it?
 
Best regards, 
Pascal

    Hi
     
    Please share pictures, so we can see what you see, I know you think we can see your screen but I promise we haven't hacked you and are looking over your shoulder. I promise promise promise.
     
    If you want help, share.
     
    Also, were you an OWNER or Coowner of the Flow or are you?
     
    If not thats enough issue.
     
    Cheers

    Hi FLMike, 
     
    I shared a screenshot in the initial post. Whenever i click on "save" there will be an error message and the flow suggests me to fix the connections (which I just changed and try to just save). 
     
    I am the owner of the flow. 
     
    Best regards, 
    Pascal

    can you pls share screen shot of error what you are getting while saving the flow? Also change the primary owner of the flow to service account or with at least your account so flow might not fail in absense of your peers.
