is there a way to do this properly?

firstFlow.combine(secondFlow) { text: String, role: Role ->
            repository.getProcessList(role.apiParam, text)//returns new flow each time
        }.flatMapLatest {
            it
        }

that won’t do what you expect. Just make it a Pair in the combine lambda, and then in the flatMapLatest use your flow

thank you, this looks better

Harder, but an interesting exercise - implement a

combineLatest

operator, and use it followed by

flatten

.

combineLatest

would combine the latest emissions of the source flows and switch to the latest flow returned by its

suspend

lambda parameter :blob-shrug:.
