Set catalog item variable manually

joshmorris · 3 weeks ago

We are transitioning our catalog items from using workflows to flows and in the workflow there was a script that set some of the variables manually via script. I need the same functionality in flow designer. I have the variables as data pills but wondering how I can give them a value?

HI @joshmorris,

is it set by a workflow or manually?

Also, could you possibly add more details about what you want to achieve? Do you want to add what value to what field - different approach is for a string, different for a choice or reference...

So before it was set in the workflow as highlighted below. But I want it to be set using flow designer as we are migrating them across. I want the ship to name to be set to the user that ordered, contact number from the user profile and same with email

@joshmorris you can either do it by a script (flow variable) or by the data pills
