yes/no variables values in flow designer

Tim Saunders

We have a catalog item with a variable of type Yes/No with None; when the form loads in the portal the value is None, forcing the user to select either Yes or No (value is mandatory). We are trying to automate the submission of this form in Flow Designer but the variable appears as a checkbox with no way to select "None", so I either need to make the field optional or set the value equal to Yes, since an unchecked box is interpreted as no value, not "None". Is there a way around this?

 

While I'm here... is there any way to refresh the variable on a catalog item in flow designer without deselecting it, then selecting it again, which wipes out any data pill mapping that has already been done? If I need to change the variable to be optional I would prefer not to have to map all variables again.

I am glad I am not the only person with this problem.  Here is my workaround.

 

Create a new Flow variable of type True/False.  I called mine "No".

Use a logic action to set the variable to no/false.

Then when you need to set a catalog yes/no variable to no, use the No Flow variable.
