Trigger a microflow with two input parameters by a custom widget

1

Is it possible to trigger a microflow which has two input parameters by a custom widget? I am building a custom widget and what I noticed is that the code snippet that triggers a microflow in the custom widget can only accept one input parameter. Is there a way to walk around this issue?

This is correct.

Yes. Say you want to pass two object of entities Foo and Bar. Create a new entity FooBar and associate it 1 to 1 with both Foo and Bar (or many to 1). Then pass the FooBar object to a microflow and retrieve the associated objects Foo and Bar. This is exactly how the drag and drop widget works.
