### Context:

_For a variety of reasons, unfortunately a user must always customize and edit the flows of my current project. I want to provide the user with a series of subflows that simplify this task._

### Problem:

I would like to limit the 'type' of the parameters values entered by the user of the subflow.  
This would simplify the code in the subflow and also make the use easier for the user, who would not always have to resort to help instructions.

### Actual:

In Design:

(the dropdown is only for the default value)

In Production:

(the user can insert enything)

### New:

New design:

New Production

### notes

- My code is too specific and useless out of the project to create new nodes - it really is a 'subflow'.
- The proposed feature is additive: with the default 'all' the behavior is the same as the current one.
- Increases the robustness and reliability of artifacts.
