Hi Guys,
I was struggling for a while to have catalog item variables updated in flow designer. Could not find much information. The solutions involved required scripting, what i wanted to avoid for something that I excepted to be straightforward. I managed to get this working with 4 simple steps that i bundled in an action that i can reuse. Just leaving this here incase it might help someone. Please note that for this solution you have to create a different action for every variable type.
1. Insert 3 inputs
2. Create a lookup to the task record number
3. Create a lookup to the request item number
4. Create a lookup to the variable
Put the request item in the parent item an the 'field name' variable in the 'Dependent item.question
5. Update the value of the dependent item with your variable.

Hi, I used the OOB Update Catalog Variable action, and I see the values are assigned in the flow context, but variables are empty on the form. Now I see your post regarding a custom action. So, are you saying that OOB Update Catalog Variable action is not going to update the catalog variables on the RITM / SCTASK ?

I am not aware that there is an OOB Update Catalog Variable action. Are you sure one exists?
