I wonder of there is a way to get RUNNING execution list with n8n native node.  
The running option is not there yet. Maybe a quick add,

Hi @pradilla 👋 You’re correct in that the option isn’t there yet - you can’t get a currently running execution through the n8n node, only past executions.

I thought there would have been a thread for this in Feature Requests already, but I can’t seem to find it 🤔 I’ll move this thread over to the right forum - don’t forget to upvote!
