Hello,
Why isn't it possible to add more than one WF to the custom configuration via NBI?
It can be done manually, but since I'm planning to create a larger number of sites with predefined values, actions and WFs/Script using a NBI WF, it doesn't help. Also:
- It is not possible to add a script to Custom Configuration via NBI
- An existing WF/Script is deleted(replaced) when adding a WF via NBI
Why is this?
I cannot even help myself with a workaround WF because it would only work for one selected vendor. I have created a workflow to make a difference between VOSS and EXOS, so this WF will start another WF depending on the device family, but Im tied to the vendor.
Thank you for your time

You're right currently, the NBI API overwrites the existing custom configuration block when adding a WF or script, as it doesn’t support appending multiple WFs/scripts. Also, script objects aren’t exposed via NBI in the same way as workflows, which limits automation.
A possible workaround (though limited) is chaining logic within a single WF or using a parent WF that delegates by device type, as you've done. Hopefully, future updates will support better multi-WF handling and vendor-agnostic logic via NBI.
