Salesforce Flow not Respect to Record Types So, How we can overcome it?

Introduction

In Salesforce,  When we created a flow with a drop-down, it is not respected to the record types which could be annoying sometimes. 

I get to know this issue by one of my close colleague which was a headache to him so, he wanted a solution to overcome it. Therefore,  he communicated the same with me and then I took sometime and thinking how we can fix this and here is my solution

Solution to Overcome the Problem

I have created a custom meta data type and implemented the data model (Record Type Name/Id, Parent and Dependent Values) there. Then, in the flow from dynamic choices for pick list which introduced in Winter '16 release, we can access the meta data type and do the required filtering base on the Record Type, Parent Values etc.. and display only the required data onto given record type.

It allows users to see relationships between people, build graphs from standard and custom objects, and then interact with those graphs. So, what is the problem? You know how it goes when you try to click on something in ARC, and you expect it to reflect the ...
