Describe the issue/error/question
I’ve been using n8n for a few months now and building more and more complex workflows. I’m trying to understand best practice for breaking processes out into sub-workflows, especially as some are becoming so big (over 100 nodes) that editing changes during development is very slow. Large workflows don’t appear to compromise the actual runtime of the workflow, just page load in the browser.
I’ve started to break larger workflows up into smaller, more manageable ones, and calling these with the ‘execute workflow’ node - but I’ve hit a strange issue. It appears that when a sub-workflow is called, the parent pauses processing until that sub-workflow is complete.
Is this expected behaviour?
Any suggestions from this forum on how to build nimble and efficient workflows that contain many tasks?
