Hi guys,
I would like to start a flow out of a subflow.
I have stored some parameters in the global object and a subflow that uses them and changes them a little depending from where the subflow is called.
Now it happens that the global object does not hold these data. It's rare but it happens.
Is there a way to inject a message into a normal flow from the subflow?
Thanks in advance

Send it to a separate output of the subflow and connect whatever you want to that. Alternatively write a value to MQTT and trigger it from that.

Hi Colin,
thanks for that! I don't like to have another output for a real edge case, but the MQTT way should work just fine.
