Scoped app tables not available in flow designer

I have tables created in a scoped app that do not appear in the Flow Designer trigger table selector. I created the flow in the same scope as the tables. These tables do not extend the Task table. How can I get these tables to appear in the trigger table selector? These tables do appear in the table selector for triggering a workflow in the Workflow Editor.

The only system properties I found for allowed tables are glide.ui.permitted_tables and sn_flow_designer.allowed_system_tables. But these appear to only apply to system tables.

I tried cache.do, but that did not make the tables appear in the Flow trigger table selector.

What am I missing?

Hi,

This should work, the only thing I can think of, is if you already have the Flow designer window open when you've created this new custom table, in that case you would need to first close the Flow designer, and reopen it again to make the new table appear in the list.

 

If that's not the case, I would contact support, and create a case, it might be a bug of some kind.

Hi @lesnettl ,

 This could be Due to the user not have access to write on sys_scope table.

Can you once make all the checkbox true for sysevent table

But I believe you may still not be able to access it please find the below Hi support article for the same.

Thanks @Community Alums,

These tables are not system tables. They are in the same scope as the Flow, and I created them before I first opened Flow Designer. I have the admin role, so I don't believe it is a permissions issue.
It appears that Flow Designer will only access tables that extend Task or Application, regardless of scope. I've decided to use the Workflow Editor since I can access my tables with it.
It may be a bug in Flow Designer or it may be by design. Looks like I may have to contact support and open a case.

Thanks @OlaN,
Yeah, I thought of that, too. The tables were created before I opened Flow Designer. The tables and the Flow are in the same scope. It appears that Flow Designer will only access tables that extend Task or Application.
