Flow Action in Screen Flow
Hi,
I had an interview where i was asked the below question,
"We all know that we cant call flow action in outgoing connector in screen flow, what do you think Why pega came up with such design for screen flow where as for process flow we can pass flow action in connector"
Please help me to understand this!
Thanks.

Hi @KumarS17605245,
Screen flows are designed for UI navigation within a single assignment, whereas process flows handle work orchestration across multiple assignments. In a screen flow, the flow action is tied to the current step and controls what happens when the user submits that screen. Allowing flow actions on connectors would create ambiguity and break the single-assignment model. Pega enforces this design to keep screen flows lightweight, predictable, and focused on user experience. In contrast, process flows allow flow actions on connectors because they represent separate assignments and routing decisions.
