Hi ,

Not sure if anyone else faced.

Everytime i do import of flows / subflows - on selecting "replace" for flows/subflows in "view nodes" option for existing nodes -- the system ends up creating duplicate copies. So instead of replacing tabs or subflows i have 2 versions of the same.

Is anyone else facing this ?  
Any recommendations ?
