James, one idea, if your common workflow was wrapped with HandleHttpRequest and HandleHttpResponse you can reuse them (calling with invokeHttp) since you pass all the parameters in the request and your workflow use them as attributes. Your common workflow behaves like a Micro Service.
Of course , the feature Reference-able+Process+Groups suggested by Joe Witt its more clean and readable solution.

We are developing NiFi workflows with a few key strategic goals in mind, one of which is this: change common workflows in one place only, and have those changes ripple through to all process groups that employ that code. More specifically: we have a complex but common workflow that we save as template XYZ. That template is used within Process Group ABC, DEF, and XYZ. We need to make improvements to the template, and want those improvements to be picked up automatically by each of the process groups. How do we make that happen? Thank you in advance for your insights. Jim
