Flow Designer and inline script to access action outputs

[Kipp Gremillion]

I am working on my first Flow and what I have created is a Data Stream action which creates an output object called OutputItems.

In a sub-flow I am using an Update Record action to save these values from OutputItems properties. I need to convert one property from a "0" or "1" to a true/false.  The problem I have is that in the inline script I cannot access the action OutputItems object.  It is also not part of fd_data object.  It is available as a pill in the data so I can drag and drop a OutputItems pill to fields to write to the record.  Just not with the Inline Script.  When referencing the object I get the error "Error: "OutputItems" is not defined.,Detail: "OutputItems" is not defined."

How to I access my object in the inline script?

Hi Kipp,

Without a screenshot or example of your flow it's difficult to say why you can't access the data from a script line, but in this case, would it not be better to use a Script Parser step in your Data Stream action to create the true/false as another output at the time it runs? This will save a lot of headaches in the future!

Thanks,

Andrew

The OutputItems pill on the left is the object returned from my action.  It's not an option in the fd_data where I expected.  Should it be or am I going about this wrong?

So the problem is resolved.  What I didn't see is that with the fd_data object, the #2 pill (OutputItems) was sorted at the bottom of the properties rather than the top to match the order of the pills.  I failed to see the underscore in front of all properties except for the OutputItems has a space in front so it sorted at the bottom and I expected it at the top.  I find in confusing why the inconsistent behavior.
