Hi, say I want to use a subflow and re-use this multiple times. One of the nodes inside the subflow is a node that uses a configuration node (for instance sql node, opc-ua node, influxdb node...)  
Can I set this configuration as a subflow parameter?

Hi @psmtvdw - no that is not currently possible. You aren't the first to ask - there is definitely value in being able to do that.

I have added an item to the backlog so it doesn't get forgotten - but it isn't a trivial piece of work, so I can't promise it will happen soon.
