Importing a parameter group

You can import existing parameter groups into your flow draft so you do not have to individually copy and paste values that are common in an environment, such as credentials or access paths.

One use case is to import a parameter group that was created earlier to reuse it in your draft. This is useful, for example, to share credentials, access paths, and so on between several flows within a project. Another use case is exporting draft parameters as a parameter group from the flow draft you are working on, then immediately importing the same group back to your draft to replace flow-specific draft parameters with ones that can be shared and reused.
  1. On the Flow Design canvas, select Flow Options > Parameters.
  2. Select the Parameter Groups tab and click Import Parameter Group.
    The Import Parameter Group modal opens.
  3. From the Select Shared Parameter Group drop-down select the group you want to import.
    The list displays only parameter groups available to you: parameter groups assigned to the same project where your draft is, and unassigned parameter groups in the same workspace.
    If one or more parameters in the selected parameter group have matching names with draft parameters, you see a warning:

    'Flow Draft already has draft parameters of the same name which have precedence over the values being imported. Remove overlapping draft parameters to use parameter values of this shared parameter group instead.'

    Overlapping parameters are marked with the info icon. When you hover over the icon, you see the following information:

    • The location of the overlapping parameter (Draft Parameters, another Parameter Group)
    • The value of the duplicate parameter (in case of sensitive parameters, only 'Sensitive value set' is displayed)
    If you want to use the imported parameters instead of the draft parameters, select the Remove overlapping parameters. checkbox.
  4. Click Import.
  5. Click Apply Changes.

After importing the parameter group, go to the All Parameters tab. There you can remove unnecessary draft parameters that have overlapping values with shared parameters, if you have not done so during import. This is useful, because draft parameters always have precedence over parameters in an imported parameter group.
