I am using the do the following in parallel in the flow designer to run 3 tasks at the same time, The issue I am facing is I can access these tasks out side the do the following in parallel for some reason. They are grayed out. Is this a limitation in the Flow Designer ?

Hi,
That shouldn't be any issues. I can't really see in what action you are trying to use those data pills. But here, for example, I'm putting one of the tasks in a parent field without any issues:

If you are trying to access it outside of the "Do the Following in Parallel" flow logic branches, you should be fine. if you are trying to access a pill from one parallel branch in another, that is restricted due to the fact that the branches can be launched and completed in unknown order. You can work around this by creating a flow variable and assigning it a value in one branch and using the flow variable data pill in the other. If you use this method you will need to be mindful of your logic and think about the various outcomes and how those branches may complete. This may require adding logic controls to handle various outcomes that could occur in the separate branches.
