Flow Designer - Rollback

Hello,

Flow Designer is still infancy topic in community.

We wish to implement a flow within the flow designer for managing demands (dmn_demand table). As I understand if the trigger conditions defined in the flow meet, the particular flow gets attached to the ticket. We would like to know if there is any option in the flow designer to rollback all the actions taken on a ticket similar to "rollback to" activity that is available in workflow editor?
Also, I would like to know If it's possible from a UI Action code to Cancel an attached Flow with a Demand? I know table (sys_flow_context) but don't know how it's being linked with the record (in this case Demand).

Best Regards,
Pawel

From the Flow Designer product manager (November 2019)

The Flow Designer team is considering enhancements to enable customers to manage their rollback situations. There are future plans to support improved debug experiences, including step into, step over and setting break points, as well as the ability to go-to or retry certain areas of a flow.

Don't forget about the Idea Portal to get your enhancement idea in the queue.

Hi Chuck, Thanks for looking forward to this. I have a use case for a Demand where we have an UI action to send demand Back to Draft. At this point, I want to reset the workflow to restart from the beginning. Rollback feature of workflow helps me achieve this but there is no such feature in flow designer. Basically, I want to have a loop within the flow designer.

Chuck, any update on this? New York has been released and we have not heard anything about rollback on Flow Designer.

Another year, another relase of ServiceNow, any update on this functionality in Quebec?
