I'm using the node-red-contrib-google-calendar node (which is awesome btw). It works great. Though, I crated a subflow off what I had originally done in the main flow and it no longer seems to be working. It allows for entering in the credentials, authenticates, but when it goes to retrieve calendarIDs it craps out with TypeError: Cannot read property 'request' of null.

I thought I read on a post somewhere that subflows cannot contain nodes with credentials. Is that accurate?
