Sharing a connection reference or creating a shared connection reference

Hi,
 
Me and my colleague are working on flows together. When we refresh these flows in our canvas app we receive an error:
 
The caller object id is 'cd83e05b-1c6e-4075-b754-25a8ce4a3717'. Connection 'shared-teams-e063a09e-fda0-40a5-bbd4-ea788edf02ea' to 'shared_teams' cannot be used to activate this flow, either because this is not a valid connection or because it is not a connection you have access permission for. Either replace the connection with a valid connection you can access or have the connection owner activate the flow, so the connection is shared with you in the context of this flow.
code: ConnectionAuthorizationFailed
 
We would like to be able to refresh the flows in the app without having to change all the connection references in the flow to our own. Is there a way to share connection references with eachother? Or create a connection reference we both have access to? How do you guys work as a team on this?
 
(We are both co-owners of the flows and also owners of the canvas app. Our app and flows are located in a solution)
 
Thanks in advance :)

    Hi
     
    The issue appears to be the Connection, not the Connection reference. If the Connection and the correct connection at that, doesn't exist in the environment then the connection reference won't work.
     
    Which is very possible your problem.

    @Michael E. Gernaey the flows are located in a Solution, all connections are connection references when they are located in a solution.
