parallel branches into a existing flow

[wallnerm]

Hello!

I have a long Flow, e.g. multiple approvals, created variables... I would like to add a mail reminder for the first approval. But that requires a parallel branch.

If I subsequently add parallel branches, the other steps are also moved to a branch. If I move the other points from the branch again to the middle there are several problems, variables have to be created again because they are no longer recognized, inserted fields have to be created again, some steps cannot be moved.

Do you know if there is a way to solve this? Later insertion of a parallel branch, but the remaining steps stay in the main part and do not come into the branch?

Otherwise I have to recreate the full flow, which is a lot of work.

Hi!

You mean this?

Thanx!

[wallnerm]

yes exactly.

Hi again!

And... you want all the action blocks that are placed automatically on the left branch to be kept in the center after the paralel branch?

If so, what I do is to store them inside a 'Scope' action block before adding the paralel brach, so it will be easier for you to move a single Scope rather than tons of action blocks.

Please note 'Initialize variable' action blocks cannot be placed inside a 'Scope', but you can move them to the top of your flow just after the trigger, and use 'Set variable' inside your Scope to assign them the desired value

Hope this helps

@efialttes  I thank you so much! you made my day great! 🤗

And thank you for the tip with the "initialize variable"!

@efialttes  do you also have an idea what "apply label" means? In SharePoint liste, create a new item.

And how I can remove this field?
