Subflow List Issue

values going into my subflow as list but once in my subflow the output values of my initial subflow input node are text values. then when i navigate back to my main flow my subflow node is showing the values as text instead of list (even though its coming in as a list and is in loop mode)

Hey @Jamesp! If you’re reporting an issue with a flow or an error in a run, please include the run link and make sure it’s shareable so we can take a look.

  1. Find your run link on the history page. Format: https://www.gumloop.com/pipeline?run_id={{your_run_id}}&workbook_id={{workbook_id}}

  2. Make it shareable by clicking “Share” → ‘Anyone with the link can view’ in the top-left corner of the flow screen.

  3. Provide details about the issue—more context helps us troubleshoot faster.

You can find your run history here: https://www.gumloop.com/history

Hey @Jamesp – thank you for sharing the workflow link and the gif – super helpful.

This behavior is actually expected. Since your subflow is running in loop mode, it processes each item in your list one at a time. Each iteration of the subflow run receives a single item, which in this case corresponds to a piece of text.

This is the standard structure for workflows. How would you ideally expect this subflow to run instead, such as processing the list as a whole?

got ya. thank works. I was wanting to send an entire list through because I was processing it again another list, creating a report, and sending it back to the main flow. But this makes more sense and I see why its set up this way
