In the latest Mendix version (10.9 ... 10.10) it is no longer possible to manually select the return type of a microflow.
While the new autodetect feature is really usefull it is quite annoying that you cannot explicitly set the return type of a flow.
When developing new processes it is very usefull to start with empty microflows that will be filled with logic to provide a certain end result. Now I always need to first retrieve or create a dummy variable to set the return type.
What's also a bit strange is that the value 'empty' generates the return type '(empty)'.
Please bring back the option to simply select the desired type. Why was this removed at all?
Completely agree with Fabian.
Although this is a feature that makes it easier for the starter developer, it can be an annoyance for experienced developers. Maybe make it a studio pro setting?
