It would be a handy feature it was possible to see where flows are used by other flows.
Kind of the same way you can see in what flows a device is used.
Especially now with the Advanced Flows it is very easy to use sub-flows and to steer them with start tags.

Maybe something for the Flow Checker app, @martijnpoppen ?
Flow uses::used by flow mapping. Though not sure if the homey-api has this information readily available.

That is indeed missing.
The way I solved it:
I created a virtual device (pushbutton) for every flow I want to be able to trace.
Instead of when this flow is started its now started by a virtual device
Or the more administrative way. Add a comment card an add in the comment which flows are starting that flow…

@OH2TH yes i checked it for flow checker, did check it once but its quite hard to make that mapping between flows.
Might be easier to create a new app for that instead of putting it in flowchecker. As flowchecker is quite memory heavy

Some kind of a flow map would be cool, where one could see the relations between each flow.
But before that, probably someway to list each flow with the dependencies for:
- depends on
- used by
No idea if there is anyway to dig that out with homey-api. But would be very useful when there is a larger number of advanced flows.

Yeah should be possible. Already have a small PoC when i tried it for flowchecker
