Not sure if this is a future request or alredy discused but i'm trying to create a subflow contraning dashboard button, sliders and text nodes. When using a single subflow the dashboard nodes are shown in the selected tab and group. The dashboard nodes can be controled. But if I add a second, third... subflow the nodes are not visible in the tab/group, proberly because they have the same name.

It would be a nice feature to be able to use dashboards nodes with multible instances of the same subflow and also posible to name the nodes with environment variable eg. ${somthing}

Also combining text with the environment variable would be a nice feature.

This is a known limitation and something we'd like to eventually address. No concrete plan for it yet.
