I know that generally one cannot put Dashboard nodes in a subflow, but is the Notification node (OK/Cancel) and exception to this? I have tried it and it seems to work ok, even with two instances of the subflow both showing notifications at the same time (on separate devices). I am concerned that there might be side effects that I have not considered.

That should be fine. The issues with dashboard nodes in subflows are related to layout, which won't apply to the notification node.

That's what I hoped, I will carry on using then.

Thanks.
