How do I reference a process flow activity node? Example below (opSMT_1):

Never mind, I used the eye dropper in model tree to get the node path.

You will get more robust ways of referencing the activity if you use the eye dropper on the activity in the ProcessFlow view instead of on the tree view.

You will get more relevant commands, such as getactivity() instead of node(). The eye dropper will also give you references based on the local variables within the trigger that you are using it from, such as another activity within that ProcessFlow.

I should clarify, I needed the full path for the node such as:

node("Tools/ProcessFlow/Main Flows/ItemList1", model())

using the eyedropper in process flow view wasn't giving me what I needed.

node("Tools/ProcessFlow/Main Flows/ItemList1", model())

is equivalent to:

getactivity("Main Flows", "ItemList1")
