Node-red-contrib-homekit-bridged: [BUG] Flow import via clipboard is not working correctly for Linked Service

[Shaquu]

Flow import via clipboard is not working correctly for Linked Service.
If flow contains Parent and Linked Service and Linked Service is assigned to Parent then when importing assignment will not recreate correctly - field will be unselected.

[Shaquu]

From what I heard from node-red developers I cannot make import via clipboard in nrchkb similar to how it works in node-red native flows. So this issue can take a while.

TODO: Check if we can inform users better about that bug since it cannot be fixed due to design of node-red.

@NRCHKB/documentation please suggest how we can inform about this problem.
Then we will try to make such notification in node-red, add information in README and add warning in wiki pages (in pages where we use linked service).

[crxporter]

I think the best option is to put comments in the wiki pages for examples of linked items. The current version won't deploy without an error if there's a "linked" item without a parent.

I need to check if some improvement has been done for this in nodered 1.2 release. I believe it deals some with duplicate config nodes, not sure if linked nodes are improved.

[Shaquu]

I can ask node-red big boss but I believe that it is another thing.

[crxporter]

Could be fun to remind Mr Nick that we still want this... might have some momentum fresh off the 1.2 release?

[Shaquu]

Asked Nick but it seems he is on holiday. So it might take a while :)

[Shaquu]

UPDATE.
Possibly solved by latest node-red like you mentioned @crxporter

Nick mentioned this:

Tested on Nodered 1.2.2 with NRCHKB 1.2.0.

Importing examples on a fresh pi works properly. Linked nodes come in linked.
Importing from one pi to another using clipboard works. Linked nodes come in linked.

This appears to be fixed if flows are properly exported and imported.
