Hi
I am needing to create a simple workflow using flow designer, I could use workflow editor for this but I want to get into the habit of using the flow designer and needing help
Its a simple workflow where only HR manager group members can create a account provisioning/de-provisioning from the portal and when all mandatory fields are entered, and submitted, then the Service Task Catalogue is created and assigned to the Human Resource Management Group
And as a member of the Human Resource group, when I assign the task to myself and I set the state to closed, then the service task catalogue is closed
Please see the form below
Thank you

sounds quite straight forward, what specifically are you having an issue with in flow designer?
basically you want trigger = service catalog
add action get catalog variables and point it at your catalog item
add action create catalog task, use the bread crumbs to assign it to requested item from trigger and populate the task fields as required, you can use the 'get catalog variables' activity to dig out the user's responses.
Leave the 'wait' box checked - this will pause the flow until task is completed.
then add an 'update record' action, point it at the requested item from the trigger using the breadcrumbs again.
Set it to update state to "closed complete". This will close the request item, and by extension, request.

For accessing the variable you should use the 'Get catalog variable ' action .
I have attached the snapshot for your reference.
