It would help if the n8n-node was updated with “Parent execution“ filter.
My use case:
I have been building a complex n8n workflow to be used as a weekly SEO Checker. For performance reasons and limitations on simultaneous requests to our database solution, Baserow, I’ve decided to use Data Tables as temporary storage during the workflow execution.
These Data Tables are called by sub workflows, and at the end of the parent workflow I want to send all rows to Baserow. But I need to make sure that these subworkflows are done before sending them to it, because otherwise there might be incomplete data.
For context, the pink nodes check the execution state of the blue nodes:
It would be great if there was an additional filter within the n8n-nodes where you could filter out executions on subflows. Here is a reference image:
For performance and reliability reasons, using the “Include Execution Details“ option sadly won’t work for me, as this workflow is aimed for use for ecommerce websites with 10k + SKU’s and pages. n8n will freeze if it needs to pull execution details on itself for 20k executions.
Are you willing to work on this?
I do not have any experience on working on public GitHub projects. But If I get the right pointers, I am happy to help!
