Why is the Save button grayed out in flow designer?

[sbh]

I'm very new to working with the flow designer so the answer to this is likely to be obvious to many of you. (I've been using workflows.)

We're splitting one service catalog request item in two so I copied the flow someone else wrote for the original item. I had to change the variable names in the new item but I can't change the Get Catalog Variables action to use the new item. The Save button is grayed out.

I'm not sure what other information would be useful, but will be glad to provide it. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi sbh,

How was the flow "copied"? 

The "Save" button is usually grey out when there is nothing to save. Adding a "Log" step usually enables the "Save" button.

Also, is it possible to delete the "Get Catalog Variables" step and re-insert it into the flow?

In the "Action", "Save" button is enabled when "Input Variables" or "Output Variables" is edited. Editing the Script will not enable the Save button so it is necessary to edit the Input Variable or Output Variables after editing the script.

Thank you both for replying!

@Hitoshi Ozawa , thanks very much for suggesting deleting the action and re-inserting it! That seems to be working well. I got a warning about other actions that would be affected by the deletion, but I'd have had to change the variables used in those actions anyway.

I copied the flow using the ... menu and saved the copy with a new name.
