Do you need specific version of n8n for the execute workflow function to work

I am trying to write generic code whilst proving out the tool, as this is important to me, and I have a very simple workflow that needs to have 2 inputs passed in.
I have been able to run a workflow node that returns the correct values (when there is no input), but when I add the “execute workflow trigger”, I am not sure how you are supposed to debug, or walk through from the main workflow to the sub-workflow. I cannot see any values that represent those that I thought I passed in, do I need a higher level account than the trial to get this to work? Is there a simple sample which i can download, to see how this is supposed to work, and how you figure out the variable names for what is a dynamic call?

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

There’s no way to ‘click through’ from the main workflow to the sub-workflow yet (but we realise this would be a useful feature. Instead, you open the sub-workflow and check the executions tab. You’ll see all the calls and the passed information there.

You can find in-depth information on working with sub-workflows here:
