We are using the Notification node to display a Please wait.. message for actions that take a little bit of time. It would be nice to be able to have the flow close the Notification once the action is completed.  
Currently, the only possibility is to have the Notification time-out or have the user close the Notification.

This worked for Dashboard 1, this does not appear to work for FlowFuse\Dashboard 2 Notifications.  
Or is there another way to do this?

You never said it was for dashboard 2.0

Please tag your post appropriately with the #dashboard-2 tag then the appropriate folk will know and comment.
