How to edit inner flow?

I have an instanced task executer process flow for people. When I try to edit some parameters in an inner flow activity, it always reverts back to its original setting when I press reset.

For example, I want to edit Move Equipment because the cart is located too close to the person so I want to Edit the inner flow box called Position Equipment. I change x = 0.4 to X = 1.4. It doesn't stay that way.

Thanks,

You can't edit the inner flows, that's by design. That way we can update the inner flows if there's a bug or we want to add some new functionality.

You can, however, copy the inner flow and make your own custom sub flow using the inner flow as a starting point. That's the other design goal of the inner flows, to let users see how the activities work so anyone can copy them and then modify them in their own subflows.
