Flow Designer Service Catalog get variables

[Brian Lancaster]

I'm getting ready to move from workflow for flow for Service Catalog. I noticed that when I do Get Catalog variables it lets me pick the request item from the trigger but not the item. That appears to need to be hard coded. Does this mean that I have to create a flow for every catalog item even we have some standard ones? Such as Manager Approval with 1 task.

It doesn't fully fix the issue as the create catalog task action also is not dynamic with the catalog item. So why do all the videos say to use get catalog variable at the beginning of the flows when you have to set the variable in the task the same way? Unless you need to have a different process based on variables I don't see the point in getting the variables at the start of the flow.

Ok so I did not more testing and since I don't need the variables to make decisions in these workflow I don't need to use Get Catalog variable and I don't need to the item name on the take since I can still get the variable to show even if I don't select anything.
