Hi There,

I'm building custom UI and workflows for video broadcast system. I have a nicely working set-up where I can choose which channel I want to control, which then makes the right HTTP requests to get status and send commands. So far so good, with use of DB UI nodes and flow variables.  
What I'd like to do now is being able to display several "channels" at the same time for a wider overview of the system. I was considering using sub-flows to duplicate code easily, but as far as I could see that does not work well with DB....  
As you can see on the screen below, the UI nodes are really into the code, as we need to get AND set values .....

How you guys would you deal with such a case ? Any suggestion ?  
Many thanks for oyur help !!
