It seems that there is no way to call a client-callable flow directly from within the context of a catalog item's form, for example within an onLoad or onChange trigger for populating variables or information with as low-code as possible approach. Has anyone heard if that is planned to be possible or is it perhaps already possible (without going through AJAX/Script Include and loosing the client-callable security layer and ACL part)
All customers must have a need to dynamically populate catalog item variables with non-synced external data, and using a flow action to fetch such data directly from the Catalog Client Script is easier to maintain than having to build a backend middleware as script include which also opens up some security concerns.
Ideally in the long run i'd love to see a way to hook a variable directly to a producer subflow where the subflow gets access to the reference qualifier and is able to produce output suitable for variables without having to use any code at all.
EDIT:
I've been able to follow some guides which said to add a reference to /scripts/GlideFlow.js to the portal's theme. That worked but it really feels sketchy, i'd prefer it if the support for GlideFlow would be available in all SC experiences, mobile, chatbot popup window etc as well.
