Workflow Variables

The Sequential Workflow Editor enables you to establish variables that can be utilized by the workflow steps. In the editor, variables are organized into scopes, following a similar pattern as most programming languages. When a variable is defined in the parent scope, it can be accessed in the child scope, but not vice versa.

Restrictions

The variable name must be unique according to variable scope.

|_ if (defines $x) ✅
   |_ if (defines $x) ❌ $x is duplicated
      |_ step2 (uses $x) ✅

|_ if (defines $x) ✅
   |_ step1 (uses $x) ✅
|_ if (defines $x) ✅
   |_ step2 (uses $x) ✅

The variable name must satisfy the following regular expression:

^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$

The variable name cannot be longer than 32 characters.
