Hard coding sys id for setting reference fields in flow designer

[davilu]

Is there a better way to set a Reference Field in an IF flow action so we're not using a sys_id?  For example, we want to set IF Assignment Group is HR Specialist in flow designer, the only way we can do this is to grab the Assignment Group data bubble and then manually type in the HR Specialist group name or its sys_id.  Is there a way to not hardcode reference fields in flow designer?

Is the only alternative to store Assignment Group sys_ids as system properties and set them in Flow Designer?

I have observed this too. Its a shame the box in the Flow Action doesn't behave like a proper reference like in other places on the platform. So yes, the only alternative is to use a system property.

Totally agree, thanks for the response!
