yes, a combination of drag, drop and delete should allow you to do this.

What happened when you tried it? It really depends on your flow |

What about it? What has that got to do with anything? Especially what you're trying to achieve (which isn't especially uncommon)

"Thinking" isn't a word I'd use here

Well not directly no. In the same way a Filter node can't replace an MQOutput node because they do different things.

Generally speaking, it is not a good idea to put an MQInput (or any other true 'Input' node) into a subflow. Mainly, because MQInput node means a new thread is started in the execution group. One can even argue, that any flow that has a true input node no longer considered to be a subflow 
Then again, if you find it convenient, go for it! |

Hmmm. I'd better get redesiging all our flows then.
This really seems a strange thing to say.
There are some really bery good reasons why having a generic 'starter' sub-flow is a good idea. If you promote/set the QM Name for example, you can do all that contact admin stuff like setting up the Environment, reading flow specific params drom a DB or properties file(ugh) etc etc.
Then when you pop out of the 'starter' sub flow where 99.9% is pre-canned you can get on with the real work.
This approach is not uncommon on Broker Sites.
Where did you get this idea that this is a bad thing to do?

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

I think skidewd may have been referring to something like having *both* an MQInput AND a plain Input node in the same subflow.
This could lead to unexpected results on any Output node into the flow using the subflow... like a message being propagated with an entirely unexpected (but correct) new Environment tree. |
