Initialize & Set Primitive Variables

The Initialize & Set Primitive Variable workflow action allows you to define and assign a value to a primitive variable, such as text, number, or date, which can later be used in subsequent workflow steps.

  • Validation Rules:

    1. The name must be unique.

    2. The name length must be between 2 and 100 characters.

    3. The name cannot be empty.

    4. The name cannot include special characters, or spaces, or start with a numeric character.
