Flow values are copied to following task which are created parallely.

[Tamilvanan T]

Hi, 

I have created a flow which will trigger on basis of a schedule, When the flow runs it will submit a catalog item and nearly 20 catalog tasks will be created parallelly. In the catalog tasks I have made the catalog item variables editable so the assigned to will be able to enter values in the catalog tasks.

The issue, whenever the values are entered in the first task, the variable values is also copied to the other following tasks. this is occurring due to the "do the following in parallel" action in the flow. 

Is there a way to restrict the variables values to not be copied to the other following tasks. Kindly let me know.

I don't think it is because of the 'do in parallel', but due to the variables being part of the catalog item. 

It's the same with normal submitting: I fill in the 'name' variable with my name and that variable is referenced on the RITM/TASKS. So when you enter it on the first task, that variable is referenced on all records related to the submission from your scheduled flow.

Is there a way can it be restricted or we need to create separate variables for the tasks.

The variables come from the catalog item. If you have different tasks that need different information, you will need to create all the variables you need. But those will be on all tasks. You can't have certain variables for certain tasks.
