I've made a workflow that uses subgraphs to reduce total number of nodes used (putting subgraphs nodes with same id into outer subgraphs). But people who use comfyui desktop report that they cant load the workflow despite being on the exactly the same version of comfyui and up to date comfyui frontend.

Short error log on front end (ids match with subgraph node ids):
Some nodes require a newer version of ComfyUI (current: 0.3.50). Please update to use all nodes. Requires ComfyUI 0.3.50: 0cbb2ad3-8b50-4c3f-acb1-20995638726e, 12aa0ff7-d11f-46e9-bbb0-80f47cb15c08, 3d5f08b5-0370-4854-acaf-4cdd8254e175, 44e38e5d-3df3-40be-89ae-8e2c5ca3d319, 4ccfeac9-ce6d-4d4d-8c7e-18563872072a, 6231e609-4e0d-4f5c-96ae-1b71489c82c6, b06bec7f-2509-4059-8024-9eddcf07115a, ce5d3291-e45d-4916-8717-fe5a4b2e872a

It appears you are using git pull or another similar method to update your version of ComfyUI. The version of frontend in stable releases (portable, desktop) is currently 1.23.4, which does not support subgraphs.

Hi, @leonero-h. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

  • You reported that workflows with subgraphs fail to load on ComfyUI desktop 0.3.50 due to node compatibility errors.
  • The desktop version currently does not support subgraphs, as confirmed by the maintainer.
  • The desktop app uses an older frontend version (1.23.4) which lacks subgraph support.
  • Subgraph support is planned for the next desktop release, which should resolve these errors.

Next Steps:

  • Please check if this issue persists with the latest desktop release once subgraph support is added.
  • If the problem remains relevant, feel free to comment here to keep the discussion open; otherwise, I will close this issue automatically in 7 days.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution!
