Workflow Variable Returning Undefined

[kristenankeny]

I am running this simple script in a run script activity for a workflow running on the rm_enhancement table:

workflow.variables.skip = 'no';
gs.log('Beginning= ' + workflow.variables.skip,'EnhancementApprovals');

The log keeps returning "Beginning = undefined". What am I missing? Why can I not set a workflow variable in this workflow?

Hi Kristen,

You can only get the workflow variables which are defined in input.

if your workflow is having one of the input variable with name as skip then workflow.variables.skip would give you some value.

Usually workflow variables are used when you call sub workflow in main workflow and pass variables to sub workflow and define workflow input variables to hold those values.

Hi,

I tried the same you said, I declared same var_name in edit inputs section, as was in startFlow() passed {name:value}. 

I was updating current record field value, in workflow Run Script activity, but nothing was updated ,as it's showing nothing.

hey i think there was a small mistake in the script line Try the below line instead gs.log('Beginning= ' + workflow.variables.skip+'EnhancementApprovals');
