add/set workflow variable(a,b,c,d)

Group

Workflow Functions


The function changes the value of the existing workflow variable b of workflow job a.

The workflow variable b can also be newly created.

The return value of the function is true if the workflow job was found and the set action was successful, otherwise false.

Parameter Description


Parameter

Description

a

Name (see VAR_SYS_WF_DISPLAYNAME) or ID (see VAR_SYS_WF_ID) of the workflow job.

b

(optional) Name of the workflow variable to be filled or created. Note: You have to use parameter type Value.

If the parameter is left empty, all variables with the same name in the workflow job are synchronised. Parameter c must then also remain empty. Note : This also sets the workflow variable VAR_AUTOSERIALIZE_DATA .

c

(optional) The value to be set for workflow variable b.

d

(optional) If true, a new workflow variable is created. If it already exists, it will be overwritten. Default: false.

Application in Transitions and Sub Workflows


This function cannot be used in transitions of a workflow itself to change its variables. However, you can use function save variable a(b) type-safe instead.

In sub workflows, however, this function can be used to change the variables of the parent workflow, but then you have to store its ID (VAR_SYS_WF_ID) in another parent workflow variable (which is then passed to the sub workflow if it is defined there), because it is not directly passed to the sub workflow.
