Split Flow Node

Hi,
I am trying to create a “Split Flow” node that can trigger multiple nodes at the same time but I am having problems.

I’ve tried it like this, but the second output doesn’t execute.

protected override void MakeIO(NodeFileEntry nodeFileEntry)
        {
            m_FlowInput = Inputs[0];
            m_FlowInput.DisplayName = "Flow In";
            m_FlowInput.RunAction = RunMultipleOutputs;

            m_FlowOutput1 = Outputs[0];
            m_FlowOutput1.DisplayName = "Flow Out 1";
           
            m_FlowOutput2 = Outputs[1];
            m_FlowOutput2.DisplayName = "Flow Out 2";
        }

        private void RunMultipleOutputs()
        {
            Debug.Log("[SplitFlow] Triggering first output");
           
            // Set the active output to the first one
            m_CurrentOutput = 0;
           
            // This will trigger the first output
            Run();
           
            // After completing the first flow, run the second one
            Debug.Log("[SplitFlow] Triggering second output");
           
            // Now switch to the second output
            m_CurrentOutput = 1;
           
            // This will trigger the second output
            Run();

And I’ve tried using:
RunFlowOutput(m_FlowOutput1);
RunFlowOutput(m_FlowOutput2);

But I’m getting errors.

I don’t believe the system was intended to activate multiple flow outputs at the same time. Is there any way to bypass this and make a Split Flow node that can activate multiple nodes at the same time?

Thank you.
