Issues with Running Child Flows on New Designer

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CU14100412-0
Hello
 
Pre-existing flows that I utilise with child flows seem to error out despite still running when the main flow runs?
 
Error - Failed to retrieve dynamic inputs. Error details: 'Parameter "workflowReferenceName" cannot be found for this operation'
 
 
The error doesn't appear in the old designer but the new designer is needed for the "Publish" button.
 
Any advice?

    Seeing the error in the flow run and publishing the flow are two different things. If you've fixed the issue, feel free to publish it with the new designer. Otherwise, what exactly is your problem?
