Get variable value as a function

[sebastien_michea]

When you want to access a variable that might have been updated after it initial creation in a set-variable module you have to first use a get-variable module. This add complexity to the graph that could be easily avoided if we had a function to get the value of a variable.
This could be something like {{getVariable(‘var_name’)}} and a new section “Local variables” in the existing custom and system variable tab

That’s a great idea! I’m sure others would agree that this is a nice feature to have.

You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, under Platform ideas and improvements

Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
