Flow Designer Sub-Flow not able to Publish

[John Prouty]

I wrote a simple Sub-Flow utility to convert a record count to a Yes / No Choice field.  I modeled it after other sub-flows that I have successfully created.  This one, however, will not let me publish it and it give no error messages to indicate why the Publish button is disabled.

Here is the "code":

What am I missing?  What did I do wrong?  Why won't Publish become enabled?

Hi,

Initial question is whether you're an admin or not as flow designer does have degree of role level access that allows for the designing of flows but not necessarily the publishing.

I am the admin.

Hi John,

The subflow created is not having any action steps. It has inputs, outputs and flow logic only.  for Subflow to be available for testing and publish it should atleast have one action step.

It is documented in https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/quebec-servicenow-platform/page/administer/flow-designer/task/create-subflow.html

May be you should write an action step to calculate record count as first step then use flow logic to set the output variables in the flow.

Hope this helps

Thanks

I have an action that I use to increment (or decrement) an integer parameter.  I used that action and set it to add 0 to the record count.  Then the Sub Flow was able to be published.  Thanks!
