When I go to publish my workflow from form to flow I get this error: 

However when I go to run it on flow, I get an error saying that it doesn’t exist:

To continue translation when features are rejected, change 'Workspace Parameters' > Log and Troubleshoot > 'Rejected Feature Handling' to 'Continue Translation''

Here’s how I have the transformer in question set-up: 

 

I’m using FME Form/Flow 2025.1.1 using the Esri ArcGIS Feature Service reader in a feature reader. 

Is it that the connection exists but isn’t the right sort of connection?

 

i.e. it was previously a portal connection and looking at your screenshots you’re now using an Esri ArcGIS Feature Service Reader which uses a different sort of connection


I was using the new connection for the Esri ArcGIS Feature Service Reader, and that was the connection my web app was not able to use. A coworker was able to help me through some troubleshooting steps. First we used the run a workspace function to determine if it was an issue with flow or the FME Web App. Once we determined it was the App, we edited the App’s Token Permissions, which was not something I knew you could do. 

If you click on your user icon in the top right of flow and select Manage Tokens, you will get to a screen where you can pick your workspace. Then under the permissions “connections” section make sure the new connection  has run permissions, and click save. Then retry running the web app and it should hopefully run, at least this is what worked for me.
