"Failed to find complex object collection definition" when executing Flow via sn_fd.FlowAPI

Our sub-instances are currently Yokohama, and our production instance is Washington DC.

 

In our Yokohama sub-instances, I was able to execute a Flow via script by copying the Code Snippet for the Flow and providing the appropriate 'changed_fields' Array.Object. Executing the following in an Xplore session works as expected:

try {
		var inputs = {};
		inputs['current'] = manufacturerGR; // GlideRecord   
		inputs['changed_fields'] = [
                {
                  "current_display_value": "true",
                  "current_value": "true",
                  "field_name": "manufacturer",
                  "previous_display_value": "false",
                  "previous_value": "false"
                }]; 
		inputs['table_name'] = 'core_company';
				
		// Execute Synchronously: Run in foreground.
		sn_fd.FlowAPI.getRunner().flow('global.company_sync').inForeground().withInputs(inputs).run();
		
	} catch (ex) {
		var message = ex.getMessage();
		gs.error(message);
	}

 
However, this flow is unable to be triggered via script in our Washington DC production environment. On execution of the above script, the following error is caught: "Failed to find complex object collection definition".

Removing the Try/Catch from the script, the uncaught exception is the following:
"com.snc.process_flow.exception.ProcessAutomationException: Failed to find complex object collection definition"

 

I have been unable to find any resources online that explains the exception and am unable to find another way to trigger this flow via script. Additionally, I have tried parsing the object in the 'changed_fields' array to JSON. I have also attempted to trigger the flow with the following function, as described in the docs linked here:

sn_fd.FlowAPI.executeFlow('global.company_sync', inputs);

Remove following code and try again.

inputs['changed_fields'] = [
                {
                  "current_display_value": "true",
                  "current_value": "true",
                  "field_name": "manufacturer",
                  "previous_display_value": "false",
                  "previous_value": "false"
                }];
