Can't start andvanced flows from another flow

Flows

Until a few hours ago everything was ok. now it is impossible to start an advanced flow from another flow. it’s possible to start only normal flows.

You’ll have to add the “Start” button

I seem to have the same issue suddenly.

Flow card is not available the error reads. But it exists. It used to work.
Seems to be since 8.0.4-rc.3 was installed 2 days ago

is the rc3 version. for sure. heeeelllllpppp. i have a lot of inusable flows…

5

For me a workaround is to change to a “Start flow with Text tag”
But this would mean changing all flows… Which is anoying.

I’ve created a support request

Lessons learned: don’t run RC versions if you want a (somewhat) stable system.

So you think the stable version has any chance to get stable if no one actually uses RC’s in live environments? You’re welcome

My statement seems reasonably factual: if you want a (somewhat) stable system, use the (somewhat) stable firmware. If you’re okay with testing unstable versions, by all means, run the RC’s. Apparently OP has made the mistake of thinking that “RC” means “release candidate” (easy mistake to make).

You can revert from a RC to the latest stable:

Hi everybody,

I’ve the same problem : Can’t launch a second flow with a start card, when it’s launched from a first flow.

Is ths bug this here ??? Hope not !

12

Can you elaborate a bit?
Standard or advanced flow?

13

Sure

Advanced flow
The first flow launches the second flow using the “then start flow” card
The second flow can be started using the “when flow starts” card
… and nothing happens :frowning:

Moreover, I think the start with a tag (text, yes/no or image) card does know work at all as I can’t choose any flow for this card …

(one part of) an advanced flow needs to have a start button.

You can add it being the only trigger, or in parallel to other trigger cards:

That’s the only way to manually start advanced flows AFAIK.

.

First you have to trigger a (part of a) flow with one of these WHEN cards:

and make sure to save that flow before continuing.
Now you can select that flow from another flow when you use one of these THEN cards:
