Guys,

NR 2.2.2

I took a number of discrete nodes that were performing a function for me and that i thought were tried and proven - these included a couple of debug nodes that were set to output a status message (underneath the debug) as well as to the sidebar.

I turned this group of nodes into a sublow and created the appropriate links into it (it does not send out any info as it is used to do some calculations and then set global variable)

How do i see the debug info (can i ?) to enable future debugging ?

Or am i better off setting this up as a flow and just using link nodes ?

Craig

Maybe add a status output to your sub flow ?

At this stage i have moved it back into a seperate flow with link nodes
