how get an id of a particular block to store it in a variable?

[a4ud...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone, I have a Start flow block where it's possible to specify which flow to start by its Flow URI. In manual mode it allows to browse throw all of my flows, see their Start points (controlled through the Flow beginning block) and pick up the necessary one. That works like a charm but instead of the manual process I need to pass a variable using the Function mode but I there's no such a variable out of the box.. How can I do that?
I want to share the entire flow with the community. That would eliminate others from doing that manual step..
Thanks in advance

A complete Flow URI is unique to the device/install, since is contains the database id of the flow. However, a (Flow beginning) block id/number is permanent.

You can make an complete Flow beginning URI by combining an Flow URI, as returned by the Flow pick block, with the known block id/number:

flowURI++"/statements/"++blockId

to something like:

"content://com.llamalab.automate.provider/flows/1/statements/1"

Thanks for the reply. When somebody copies my flow, will they have exactly the same block ids as mine?

Block id/number, yes. But not Flow id/URI.
