How to use variables

[rajnandan1]

I am trying to update the value of a variable but I am getting error. I am using the below code

 variable.context = "<variable.context.value>" + "<execute.response.data>"
 
 return "<variable.context>"

I have tried all possible combinations, but it is not working

Hey! Here's a simple example of me using the variables. Are there any additional details for the error you are seeing or context around what specifically you are doing? @rajnandan1

[rajnandan1]

I have defined a variable. It is empty string at start. I have a loop in my workflow. And each workflow runs updates the variable.

Variable = variable + some_data

Got it @rajnandan1. We actually need to add the ability to update variable values at runtime. That's an improvement for sure

[rajnandan1]

So will it be built anytime soon?

[emir-karabeg]

@rajnandan1 yes! We'll work on it today.

[rajnandan1]

Can't wait. Will you update the issue once. Also please share the documentation with sample code. Thank you so much.

[emir-karabeg]

@rajnandan1 can do!

@emir-karabeg - +1. This would be super helpful! Do we have an update on this? Cheers

Hi! I would love to help with documentation or sample workflows once the runtime variable update feature is live. Please let me know when it's ready so I can contribute. 🙌

I appreciate you all! We're doing a big overhaul of connection blocks and variables to make it much more intuitive to use. The variables updating at runtime is a part of this change. I appreciate your patience and checking in, and will hopefully get this out this week! We've been hard at work and we're excited to release a massive update to the connections.

Looking forward to showing you all!
