Anonymously Inject Data Into Flow
Comments

Instead of having to supply a defined data type as an input I would like the ability for this to be dynamic. For example
Flow A requires a list of Objects. ( Accepts Dynamically loaded data)
Flow B Has a form. ( Outputs Data to be Dynamically loaded in flow A data)
Flow C has an API call. ( Outputs Data to be Dynamically loaded in flow A data)
ALL are independent flows
The idea is to have Flow A be able to accept any type of data and run appropriately. In java, this would be done with the Use of the “Object” class but Im unsure in Decisions.

The inputs of a flow can be toggled to allow null values under Flow Input Data > Show Editor > Data Definition > Can Be Null (pictured). Using this property, you can then declare many types of inputs for a flow, set them all to Can Be Null, and the flow itself can then check to see which values are null and execute steps or sub-flows depending on which inputs have values.
From there, you can use logic to decide what happens next in the flow depending on which values are present. Ive attached a sample project with a few flows having multiple types in their inputs, each with Can Be Null checked, to demonstrate a few ways to configure a flow like this.
