</pre></div><div><br></div></div><div></div><div>Task “timeInToronto” has property “parameters” which in turn also has property “parameters”. Could you please explain your intentions here? Maybe we should have just one section “parameters”?</div><div><br></div><div>Btw, the more I think about all these parameters the more I come to realize that we need to redesign this part significantly. The reason is that I’m currently working on the first Data Flow implementation and I feel that not everything is good with our understanding of what parameters are, at least with my understanding ). But I think it makes sense to start a new thread to discuss this in details.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div> <br><div>
