I have a flow that is triggered manually (button) the button takes inputs 4 inputs 2 boolean and 2 texts. when i copy this flow with "save as", the copied flow and the original is now missing the trigger inputs.

the screenshot you will ask for

Update:
Concurrency settings is likely the source.

Noticed that the same behavior when changing concurrency/settings of the trigger. Everything looks fine after selecting to save, exiting and returning to the editor show that the input fields are wiped. I can imagine the copy-process triggers the concurrency edit on the source as well as the one its copying, and that this process is not able to retain the input values.

EDIT:
Why is this marked as solved?

No I have not attempted that, but i can't imagine it working because peek code also shows that the values are gone. As far as I know, the export import will use the code to create a new one.

I guess I could copy that way as a workaround, but I still see the copy to/save as functionality to be broken 🙂

Not sure, but i tested it again and now both the original and the copy are fine.

I think its not the copying that is the problem after all, i just noticed that simply opening the settings pane doing a change to anything breaks the inputs, but the trigger looks the same in the editor. except that the code for the inputs is gone.
I believe I did this before I copied, and I thought that the trigger was fine because it did look normal before I saved and closed.

Editingsettings, add a space to tracking id and remove it to click "OK"code for inputs are gone.
