# Flow action numbering

# Flow action numbering {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Yokohama  
Updated January 30, 2025  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
The action outline displays a whole number besides each action and flow logic block in a
flow. You can update flows containing legacy action numbering from within Workflow Studio.

## Current action numbering {#flow-action-numbering__section_eqr_1rc_5mb}

The current number sequence increments each item in the action outline by a whole value of
one. For example, if a flow logic block is step 2 in the action outline, then the actions within
the flow logic block are steps 3, 4, and 5. Inline scripts reference the whole number value of
actions and flow logic.

## Legacy action numbering {#flow-action-numbering__section_hpq_fqc_5mb}

The legacy number sequence increments each item within a flow logic block by a decimal value
of 0.1. For example, if a flow logic block is step 2 in the action outline, then the actions
within the flow logic block are steps 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3. Inline scripts reference the decimal
values of actions and flow logic.  
Important:  
Inline scripts produce an error when they refer to actions using legacy action numbering. Update all inline script references to the use the new action numbering.

## Automatic action numbering updates {#flow-action-numbering__section_ozg_htc_5mb}

Workflow Studio automatically updates the action numbering of all flows during
upgrade. Whenever you open a flow that contains inline scripts, Workflow Studio
checks the script for references to legacy action numbering. If the script contains legacy
references, it displays a prompt to update the action numbering.  
Figure 1. Prompt to automatically update action numbers in inline scripts  
The system attempts to match the actions referred to by the legacy action numbering to actions with the new numbering. Review the inline script changes to ensure that your inline scripts refer to the correct actions.  
Note:  
If an upgraded flow does not have the correct numbering, move the actions and flow logic to the correct sequence.
