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?
