Is there any way to include a subflow from elsewhere? I have some subflows that I use on multiple systems and would really like to have a way of having a master copy (which would be git controlled) and somehow automatically (or semi-automatically) including them into the flow file. I suspect that this is currently not possible but would love to be wrong.

No way to do that today. Would certainly like a way for the library to support that sort of thing... but nothing currently in the plan.

OK, that is what I thought. Thanks.
