flow activating or publishing when attached to decision table

Is there an issue with the flow designer when it has a decision tale in it? I setup a very simple decision table, 2 choices. If choice is "server" , show checklist "server". If choice is "switch", show checklist "switch". the decision table is set. I create a flow in designer. Flow will not publish or activate. Those items are greyed out.  it was working 4 days ago though.  anything change?

Please give this a try and see if it helps. If you still face issues, please share screenshots of the flow which you have configured.

Hi @chuck tate 

 

Can you please share some screenshots ? Also, is your flow is in draft state ? Please do check if your flow has at least 1 action or subflow as Flow Designer requires at least 1 Action or Subflow to 'activate' a flow.

 

Thanks & Regards

it should be noted that when I add another action to the flow, I do get the test and activate and the flow goes through but does not update the checklist. I know this because if you put a update to notes = "test flow", it works but does not update the checklist. 

The checklist works with no issues if you manually nest if statements in the flow, else if and so on. so the form is correct. the decision table tests ok as well. I did have this working previously with 10 decisions without a  hitch. I came in the next day and it had stopped. 

 

 

 

  

Hi @chuck tate 

 

I tried to reproduce the issue you are facing on my PDI and I was able to reproduce this scenario. On further investigation, I found that if your flow is only having Make a decision flow logic and a trigger record, you will not be able to activate that flow. A flow need to have at least 1 action apart from a decision logic. 

 

Have a look on the below screenshots. 

 

Case 1 : Flow with only Make a Decision Flow Logic. Notice that the save and activate buttons are grayed out :

Case 2: Flow with Make a Decision Flow Logic and an action, Create Record. Notice that the save and activate buttons are available :

Request you to make necessary modifications to your flow and retry.

Amit, 

Thanks for the diagram and info. I am for one reason not able to pull even one choice from the decision table. I simplified the option down to one choice.  and I am still not able to pull a change from the one choice decision table. Could you expand your flow out pls. I know its something I am doing incorrectly.
