Subflow input output type

[test62]

Dear community members;

I'm trying to build Flow/Subflow and I'm a bit confused about the 'Type' parameter;

When I refer to the product documentation, there's no description about 'Record', 'Records' and so on.

Could someone please explain to me what does it mean each type;

Hi @test62 

Type defines the datatype of the variable which you want to declare to be used inside your flow/sub-flow/action. Suppose, you want to store only numeric without decimal, so you will prefer a variable of type integer. Similarly, if you want to store only string literals, you will declare the variable type as String.

Refer Workflow Studio input and output data variables

Thanks and Regards

@test62 

the type helps you determine what should be the type for the output variable

it could be string, GlideRecord, Date, Date/time etc

what's your business requirement here?
