How do I set a catalog variable in flow designer?

[Marvin16]

Hey there,

does anyone know how to set a catalog variable in flow designer properly? I have created a custom action with a script step. The script step has one Reference.Requested Item input parameter.

In my script i do the following:

inputs.ri.variables.my_text = "Hello World";

So in workflows I have the current object which ensures that this operation is written to the database. But in flow designer i do not have that object so I wonder whether I need to call:

inputs.ri.update();

How do i ensure that the variable is written to the database in flow designer? What is the proper way to do it?

Best regards

Hey Rajender,

this thread does not answer my questionn at all. I know how to get variables from the triggering catalog item in flow designer. I want to set/change variables within the flow for the related catalog item.
