Why Virtual Agent is not supporting all type of variables , Where we can find the list of variable types that are supported by VA. 

Is there any possibility of adding the variable types to be supported by VA ?

Hi there,

 

Are you referring to variables on a catalog item? Or do you mean virtual agent script variables?

 

Kind regards,

Are you referring to the user input types when virtual agent displays question to the user to take the input?

If yes, above URL might be helpful.

 

You can check below to find how to access the user inputs via script

As per my opinion, Virtual agent supports only limited user input data types because its a conversational platform to make the conversation easier as compared to a request form which will gather more information with different types of variables.

 

There is an option to create custom control types as well, check the below:
