When the oneditsave function of my custom node is called, I need some code to be executed, and within that code I need the ID of the flow the node belongs to. Is this something that is possible ?

I cant remember if your node has access to `z` but that would be where I would start.
Otherwise:
```auto
RED.workspaces.active()
```
```auto
RED.view.selection().nodes[0].z
```
Though assumptions are made!
