These could be overwritten at run time with logic from scripting in the step that could handle custom input from a user, inter process communication, and other values you could test. I'm thinking of something similar to write flow charts with Apex and add actions to the tree and elements based on input as well as being able to store the current state and return to where you left off. | |

That should work... although I am intrigued what problem you are trying to solve that requires this! Good luck :) | |

I was hoping for a way to load some Apex code that could be loaded from a field and then run at run time. It looks like JavaScript might be the best way to do this. | |
