Control Containers & Interface Tools

Hi all, 

 

I'm currently on Version 2023.1.1.200 Patch: 1.

 

I'm really interested in the Control Container idea, and my imagination went wild with the thought that we could do chain apps within the workflow itself, thereby not requiring two workflows to do the job. 

 

But, to my dismay, the Control Container doesn't accept Interface Tools, and therefore, chain apps cannot be used. 

 

Has anyone tried doing this? Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but the warning sign seems to suggest I cannot do it that way.

 

Real bummer if that's the case.

I missed this comment but thank you for writing this. It is very clear and explains better. 

I eventually settled for a different approach that worked well. But after using control containers for awhile and trying to test it to its limits, what you’re saying is what I learned through brute force haha!
