Info

When a production flow that has pending tasks associated with it is edited and replaced with an updated version, pending tasks will contain the changes the next time they are "performed" from the task list. For example, let's say you

  • Add or delete controls in a signed section and there are flows pending in flight that have already been signed.
  • Add/remove a field that was used in a business rule? ex: Add/remove a column from a table that was used in a calculation.
  • Change a spreadsheet that you are reading from or writing to using the Google connector.

When you edit a flow and change business rule or add/remove fields, all the pending tasks pick up the latest version of the flow. Pending tasks for a form/flow that integrates with a Google sheet reflects any changes made to the Google sheet while the tasks are in-flight.

When uploading a form/flow with the same ID as an existing form/flow, without checking Replace, a copy will be created and the designer will see an error message: "The flow that was uploaded matches the id of one that already existed so a copy was made. If you intended to replace the existing flow, delete the flow you just uploaded and upload it again but check off the ‘Replace’ option."

When uploading a form/flow with Replace checked that is currently being edited by another user, the designer will see this error message: "This flow is currently being edited by <user@tenant>. Please try again later."

Form/Flow designer edit ACL

The Access Control feature in allows the designer to assign other users permission to make changes to forms and flows.

Warning

The ability to edit a Form/Flow should not be given to other users if the form/flow is in production. Giving this permission would enable those users to edit your production forms directly thereby subverting the best practices described in this guide.
