Add template with the help of variable does not work in Create Catalog Task

[Markus Reber]

Hi all

In the Flow Designer you can select a template in 'create catalog Task' with which variables are finally displayed in the SCTASK. I would like to deliver the desired template in a variable in the subflow via the flow inputs so that I can use different templates flexibly.
When trying to use variables in the action in the Template field, it is always stated that the data type is not allowed here.

Does anyone know which data type is required here?

Hi @Markus Reber ,

it won't work like this:

1. It expects you the Catalog Item type of a record, and not String.

2. After you select the Catalog Item as a template you will have to manually select what variables to show, it's not like it will show you all of them as soon as you select the template.

Hi Ivan
Thank you for your answer! That's how I've done it so far. I wanted to make the whole thing a bit more flexible, but didn't realise that the next problem would follow with the assignment of the attributes.
I can solve this with a few templates (see attachment).
