Usage
vf workflow insert-step [flags]Examples
vf workflow insert-step --workflow-id <id> --block-id <id> --project-id <id> --environment-alias <value> --step '{"kind":"carousel","content":{"cards":[{}]} }'Flags
--acknowledge-rewire Required when the insert makes the last step stop being last and that step has exits that would stop running: a Tool or Code fail or path link is cleared, and actions on such an exit are deleted. Also required when you append a step that has no next port, such as End or Go to block: the old last step's next link cannot move to it, so it is cleared.
--after-step-id string Insert right after this step of the block. Send this or atStart.
-b, --block-id string [required]
--body string Request body as JSON (alternative to individual flags). Can also be provided via stdin.
--environment-alias string [required]
--expected-steps stringArray The block's step IDs exactly as your last read returned them. If the block changed, nothing is written. [required]
