How to pass user to requested for in Flow Designer?

Hi everyone, 

When Flow Designer was introduced I thought it was intended to facilitate, but instead I'm seeing many difficulties. 

The newest is below.

We have a catalog item which uses a variable set, this variable set is used in all catalog items we have, most of them using legacy workflow (which works perfectly).
The variable set contains user information as follow:
1. Affected User (u_requested_by)

2. Caller (opened_by)
etc. 

OOTB, the opened_by is being passed to the Requested For field in the RITM and SCTASK.

What we want is to pass the Affected User (u_requested_by) to the Requested For field, same as we do with all other catalog items using legacy workflow.

I saw other users having the same issue in the community and some of them solving by adding a new custom business rule which creates another issue, there are few BR's doing the same thing, how to solve this without having to create additional BR?

Hi,

Your image shows you are using the "Create or Update record" action.
You need to replace that with the "Update record" action, because you're not interested in creating a record at this point. Correct?
