@kyleheney i made a concept app where scanning the barcode and inputting the value (and doing different things based on the value) is separated.  
The problem I faced was that the conditions in compound actions only takes places when the action starts and not later. I wanted to scan first - then do a check on the scanned barcode and then decide which way to go in the flow. But this cannot be done at the moment. I do hope we get conditions inside compound actions to be able to branch out to different flows (after the initial conditions in the compound action)

> @kahakun I have done a sample app for you to get inspired by One button for doing the scanning - and one button for actually inputting the value. I have made it possible to input the barcode manually as barcode scans quickly eats your quota I hope that will help you to do your app. Notice that the data is not user-specific - so if you want multiple users to use the app you will need to replace a number of columns. Please test that it actually works correct with user specific variable

on each action in a compound
