Number of actions in Flow designer is limited and I am unable to add any action

[Thirupathamma]

Hello Team,

I have one flow for a service request. In that I am unable to add more actions as the maximum number of actions allowed by servicenow[Default value : 50] has been exhausted. I have changed the default value to higher and deactivated and activated the flow to pickup the newly entered limit. But it is not working. Only 3 steps I need to add but the flow is not allowing. It is an urgent requirement.Kindly respond immediately if you have any idea.

@Thirupathamma Couple of months back I was in the same situation where I also exhausted the maximum number of the steps allowed for the flow. Instead of increasing the number of steps using the property, I went back to the drawing board and identified the common steps which could be grouped to create sub-flows. Created multiple sub-flows from the existing flow and after utilising them in main flow, the main flow reduced to only 12 steps. This enhanced the reusability and eliminated the need of updating the system property.
