When i tried testing a flow , In flow context only first 7,8 steps are showing as running on flow context UI. I cant open any subflows or action outputs and logs from UI . But the subflows and actions are running and updating the specified values in records . Because of this i cant debug the flow correctly .

Hi @irfan_fedserv ,

 

Please click Edit flow first and it will be available to select and also do you see any message when you open a flow context??

step 8 is the last step in which step state is not 'not run'.

but even though no other steps run is shown on UI , the values are updating till step 21 in the record,

when opened the flow context backedn table the subflow which ins in step 10  whch is hsown as not run is actually completed , but not reflecting on main flow , 
The usual buttons right next to a subflow in flow execytion view 'open subflow context' is not visible . Hence i cant debug this flow and verify the integrtion inputs and outputs (even though integration is working fine except some values not populating).

i turn on the flow reporting as you said , but no change

Hi @irfan_fedserv ,

 

and also check if your calling subflow through scripts (Business rules or from any other flow)?
