Unable to edit flow - Flow has been modified since you opened it" after page refresh

Hi everyone,

I’m encountering a persistent issue in Workflow Studio / Flow Designer (Zurich Patch Update).

The Issue: Every time I create a new flow and perform a hard refresh of the browser tab, the flow becomes non-editable. I receive a pop-up modal stating:

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Create a new Flow in Workflow Studio.

  • Add a Trigger (e.g., Service Catalog) and one Action.

  • Perform a browser hard refresh (Ctrl+F5).

  • Upon reload, the "Unable to edit" modal appears. Even after closing it, the flow remains stuck or requires multiple reloads to become editable again.

What I've Checked:

  • I am the only person working on this flow (no concurrent users).

  • I do not have the same flow open in multiple tabs.

  • Clearing browser cache didn't resolve the persistent state of the error.

Has anyone encountered this sync issue recently? Is there a specific system property or background job (like flow compilation) that might be locking the record and causing this "modified" mismatch?

Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!

Hey @omkar shinde,

 

Have you also checked if your Flow is referencing a Catalog Item Variable that may have been changed? I know you mentioned that this is impacting your Catalog Items globally, but it's possible you have either a Varible or Variable Set that was modified and will throw an error when trying to access Flows. 

 

IE: You have an IF Action referencing a now inactivated option in a Select Box.
