When I am referencing other workflows you are presented with all the workflows you have ever created.
This can lead to a long list of workflows that are the same names as the ones you are trying to work with.
Is there a way you can turn off these so that you just have the workflows you are using for your project?
Hi klrlN8N
Hope you are well!
There is no functionality that allows you to directly restrict the display to workflows used only in a specific project.
However, there are some workarounds that you can apply
Use a naming convention to identify related workflows within the same project, such as:
PROJECT_A - Main Flow
PROJECT_A - Subflow 1
PROJECT_B - Main Flow
This will help you quickly differentiate between flows when working with references.
Add project-specific tags in the flow configuration menu. This makes it easier to sort and search for flows by project.
Example: Add the tag PROJECT_A to related flows.
When opening flows in the N8N editor, you can use the tag search to limit the display.
Disabled flows do not actively appear in actions such as auto-runs or direct calls, helping to narrow the list of active workflows.
Consider grouping related workflows into master workflows that call dynamic subflows.
Configure a dynamic field on the HTTP Request or Execute Workflow node to select workflows based on a variable or condition at runtime.
This eliminates the need to manually list all workflows.
Hope this helps.
Dont forget the folders feature that was recently added.
Create folders for projects and navigate through those to find what u need
Thank you BramKn,
I have been using the folders which has been great.
I have attached an example of the list of the workflows to which I am referring to.
As I said it is a feature but when you are working on a project that last thing you need are workflows that are not part of the project.
It would be good if you could remove them or have them a differnt colour from those you are using for your project.
I hope this explains thing better.
Thank you once again.

Ah sorry, yeah that is much clearer thank you.
I don’t think there is anything you can do about that now other than just searching for the workflows u need.
Hello klrkN8N, could you kindly mark my previous post as the solution (blue box with check mark) so that this ongoing discussion does not distract others who want to find out the answer to the original question? Thanks.
