Hey,

It would be a great resource if we could pass the flowId on the Storage: Set Value and Storage: Get Value nodes, as these nodes enable some actions that are not possible to perform via API, such as INCREMENT.

> Right, but if the instances of the custom node are in the same workflow, the keys are saved in the flow storage and not the custom node. A suggestion would be to be able to pass the flow id that will be saved, as this is only possible via API, and in my use case it is necessary to use the INCREMENT of storage, in which different instances of the custom node could increment the same key , as in the image. Because via API has competition problem to update the storage. [flow.flow](https://forums.losant.com/uploads/short-url/8NrXb5fctKr3Xihsjzdu4OxWxqn.flow) (13.3 K…

Hi @Vander_Maziero,

I’m with you. I agree that this would be a useful feature.

We are currently discussing this internally. I will be sure to follow up with you once I learn more.

Thank you,  
Heath

@Vander_Maziero,

I wanted to let you know that we will be making feature requests for both adding the increment operations to the storage API endpoints, as well as the ability for custom nodes to share storage across instances.

As always, I will make sure to follow up with you as I learn more about their development!

Thank you,  
Heath
