Use the catalog item select box choices as input to decision table?

I want to use a decision table in my flow to determine what catalog tasks (and their assignment group) should be created based on the data that was selected when a request is submitted.

 

The catalog item uses a select box to determine the "action" to take, I want to use these choices as the input to the decision table but I don't know what table they are in so I can use them as the input choice list in a decision.  Ok, I admit this is confusing.

 

On the catalog item, the Action variable is a select box and these are the choices:

In the decision table, I want to use the question choices as the input and reference the variable choices so I don't have to maintain them in two separate areas.  What table to I select?  How can I be assured the correct list is selected since I only see one field as an option?  There is more than one catalog item variable named "Action".

@gjz 

so the variable select box options are selected and you want to set catalog task and Assignment group based on those Options selected? 

Yes, essentially I need some way to accomplish the following.  It was so much easier in workflow with the Switch statement!

 

ConditionResult
Action = Add user or Remove UserTeam A, Team B, Team C, Team D, Team E
Action = Change UserTeam B, Team E
Action = Add mobile app only or Remove mobile app onlyTeam C

 

in that case why dont you use multiple If conditions (Flow logic) and validate each option i know this can be long but easer to do that.

 

try 1st If condition met 1st option and if true create task or validate for the second option 

5 option 5if conditions.

 

hope this is helpful

 

 

It's an option and one I already tried.  I ended up duplicating catalog tasks and it's messy to read.  It's also difficult to get it correct when the tasks have to run in parallel.
