Using this method, you can call subprograms from other subprograms no problem. See this other reply for another example: > [@Jump Flag Program Node](https://forum.universal-robots.com/t/jump-flag-program-node/17355/2): > > While not an explicit Polyscope Node, you can already achieve this functionality using a combination of Switch/Case and subprogram calls (or script function calls).
