I'm trying to update a subflow that is in a scoped app. When I open it up in Flow Designer, I get the message:
I'm probably the only one who would work on this app, and I don't remember the last time I touched it. If I press Continue, I get a read-only version of the subflow so can't save any updates. How can I set it so I can update it again? I've tried committing in my session, but still get the message.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Gary Kakazu1,
Are there multiple update sets in the application scope?
If so, try switching to a different one.

I knew I was the only developer that had worked on this particular flow that the next day I now had read-only access to and could not find it saved in any Customer Updates (sys_update_xml) where Target Name was the flow name. I selected the flow from the list of flows in Flow Designer and used the action choices box at the bottom of the listing to Add to Update Set. Once it was in my current update set I could open the flow and continue developing it.
Note - Add to Update Set is a useful function you can get from the ServiceNow Store.
The problem arose because I didn't save my work before I finished for the day.
