FYI for others...we ran into the same error message in flow execution ('Failure to create value for parameter #6 on 'ah_body') and it ended up being caused by two different flows with the same flow name, due to an issue with update set promotion of the flow. So getting rid of the second duplicate flow fixed the issue. So something quick/easy to check for if you run into this since the message wording doesn't really give you much to go on.

Flow Designer is so 😠 painful...

That's what happen when people think it will be easy to do a graphical programming language and have no clue what they are stepping into...

Just to throw my 2 cents in - had a similar issue with "#28 on parameter 'name3'" yesterday. Solved it by going copying the content of the payload for the flow from the update set, searching for "name3' and finding the (maligned) variable data pill that was associated to it. Turned out 'name3' was the user's name for a scoped application's action that was being used. Once located, removed and recreated the data pill and worked fine. Posting in the hopes that this more diagnostic way to resolve the issue (albeit technical) helps someone.
