How is everyone handling production/sub-production connections when using Flow Designer. With a code solution, when we build a new integration, we typically build into the code a check against environment and/or a system property. So for example the code might always use the production connection in production, but we may have the option in a sub-production of using the production connection (For testing purposes) through the system property.
In Flow Designer, you can setup multiple connections for a system, but in the Flow itself, you can't dynamically choose which connection. In my current example, I'm attempting to rebuild a custom Infoblox integration using the Infoblox Spoke. I've setup a connection to our Production and Lab Environments, but I can't make the flow choose which one to use without duplicating the entire flow.
Is there something we're missing, and if not, how are other teams getting around this issue.

For something like rest where subprod/prod have different endpoints and creds we have the endponts stored in a system property and use the script to determine what environment we're in. Same thing with the cred but that property holds a sys_id for the cred record and then it's just a lookup and we can get the username and password

Right, this works when you're scripting the interface, but in Flow Designer with connections, there doesn't seem to be a way to dynamically pick the connection. The defined connection is what it is.

Are you wanting to use a using a Connection Alias or Define Connection Inline?

I'd like to be able to pick between connection alias's inline instead of at development.
