Hello, I have a workflow with date&time input, but every time that I execute the flow I need to reset the node. Do you know how I can automate this, in a way that flows without my intervention?

From your flow, you have input to Variable to Column from other node. So, make from that node connection to flow variable port of Date&Time input. It will reset the node for every run.

Thanks for your answer, but I don’t catch it. I taken the connection from “Column Rename”, so, the idea is change the connection from “Variable to Table Column” to another node for “Date Time input”?

> Hello all, is there a way to set up an automatic reset (preferably combined with a restart) of all DatabaseReader knodes of a given workflow ? If I close and reopen a workflow the data remain within a DR knode and I have to reset and restart all of them manually in order to catch up with changes in the data source. Best regards Bernd
