Child flow suddenly requiring more inputs than defined

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 47

I have a child flow that requires the following inputs to be defined

However, when calling this flow from another "parent" flow additional fields are requested and the call fails because I haven't populated them (even though the location field isn't mandatory)

Viewing the code for the trigger on the child flow does show these fields, but as you can see the interface doesn't show them within the Child flow. This doesn't feel correct, has anybody experienced this and knows of a fix?
