Set Variable

The Set Variables workflow action allows users to assign or update values for the properties of a selected variable. This action is useful for dynamically modifying the properties of variables in the workflow context, such as entities, objects, or configurations.

Key Configuration Fields

• Name

  • Enter a unique name for this workflow action.

  • 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.

• Variable

  • Select a variable from the list of variables currently available in the workflow context.

• Properties Mapping Table

  • Once a variable is selected, the system will display a table with the following fields for each property of the selected variable:

    • Property:

      • Displays the property name of the selected variable.

      • If the property is non-nullable, a value must be provided.

    • Operator:

      • Select an operation to perform on the property from the following options:

        • Set: Assign a new value to the property.

        • Unset: Clear the value of the property.

        • Multiply: Multiply the value of the property (numeric properties).

        • SetToCurrentDate: Set the property to the current date (if the property is of date/time type).
