How to build a Flow from Community to create a external object Record

Usually a very quick 5 min task for me to build out a flow to create some records of particular objects.  This time I want to do this from a Community and I want to cereate a record from a external object.  The flow runs but never creates the record.  

Result
A record is ready to be created when the next screen, pause, or local action is executed or when the interview finishes.
{!vRecordID} = null

What do I need to do for a external object to get ths to work?

Hi Derek,
External objects need to be sorted by their external Id field in order to render results after a query. This was NOT mentioned in any documentation that was found but instead was discovered.

Collecting data and performing operations in your org or an external system. Flow can fetch, delete, update and create records on multiple objects. ... be created automatically when a button is clicked on Account object. This can be achieved by creating a flow and accessing the flow using a custom button.

I still can not get this to work.  All I want to do is enter 4 tezt fields and use them to create a record in my Org that is a external object.  I don't want to do a Update, or a Get.  All I want to do is a Create.  What am I missing here.  I keep getting this

A record is ready to be created when the next screen, pause, or local action is executed or when the interview finishes.

The record never gets created and I get no errors on the screen.  I can create one of these records using the New button with same user with no issue.
