Names of Flow/Subflows/actions using particular custom field.

[KhasimKhanP]

Hi Folks,

We're planning to remove u_abc custom field from system. Before that we're trying to get the names of flows/subflows/actions using this particular custom field.

By clicking on record in sys_hub_action_type_definition.LIST table redirecting to workflow studio UI. so there a way to find flows and actions?

That will be almost impossible to achieve because of how everything is configured and intertwined.
Check the sys_update_xml table to see if it is in the payload of any record there. That should give you some indication.

Yeah, tried this already this way we can find only scrip actions(step) (sys_hub_step_instance). payload doesn't have inline script data, conditions, if/else logic etc..,

Hi, 

This would vary depending on where the custom field is used, it's different depending on if it's an input or part of a script execution of an action.

Another way to find where your custom field is being referenced is to search through the [sys_update_xml] table for all records that has the custom field as a value in the Payload field.

@KhasimKhanP 

finding it within flow etc is difficult as there are different tables involved.

I used this link and it helped me to some extent, see if that helps you
