Abstract

A method includes acquiring a to-be-used execution project flow, where the to-be-used execution project flow includes multiple to-be-used flow nodes; in response to detecting that an operation on at least one to-be-used flow node is a preset operation, updating the to-be-used execution project flow, and in response to detecting that a target control is triggered, using the updated to-be-used execution project flow as a target execution project flow.

wherein the visual node information is information about visible flow nodes, and a visible condition of the visual node information is used to determine the to-be-deleted flow node associated with the current flow node.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein acquiring the workflow comprises:

determining the workflow from a plurality of to-be-selected workflows according to a preset configuration field.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in response to detecting that the association role information or the visual node information in the node attribute information is modified, and determining the to-be-deleted flow node associated with the current flow node comprises:

5 . An electronic device, comprising at least one processor and at least one memory having execution instructions stored thereon, wherein the execution instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform:

acquiring a workflow for a product development process and displaying the workflow in a workflow display page of an electrical platform or an electrical system, wherein the workflow comprises a plurality of flow nodes, and the workflow is stored in a storage space of the electrical platform or the electrical system;

in response to detecting that a current flow node of the plurality of flow nodes is triggered, jumping from the workflow display page to a node information editing page of the electrical platform or the electrical system, and displaying node attribute information corresponding to the current flow node in the node information editing page; in response to detecting that association role information or visual node information in the node attribute information corresponding to the current flow node in the node information editing page is modified, determining a to-be-deleted flow node associated with the current flow node, deleting the to-be-deleted flow node, updating the workflow based on the to-be-deleted flow node, wherein the to-be-deleted flow node is determined automatically based on detecting that the association role information or the visual node information in the node attribute information is modified; and in response to detecting that a trigger operation on the current flow node is a delete operation, deleting the current flow node, and updating the work flow;

jumping from the node information editing page to the workflow display page, and displaying the updated work flow in the workflow display page; and

in response to detecting that a target control in the workflow display page of the electrical platform or the electrical system is triggered, determining the updated workflow as a target workflow;

wherein the visual node information is information about visible flow nodes, and a visible condition of the visual node information is used to determine the to-be-deleted flow node associated with the current flow node.

6 . The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the execution instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform:
