I want to have access in my topic to the context variables that apparently are only available upon handoff, like for example va_LastTopic or va_Topics, (the variables are listed here, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/advanced-hand-off#context-variables-available-upon-handoff).
Is there a way to access these variables in my custom topic?
I looked already at querying the ConversationTranscript dataverse table, but there is apparently a 20/30 minute delay when this table is updated.
Hi @MichielVanduren ,
Most of the contextual information is accessible through system variables, which you can access using Fx formulas. Additionally, I recommend referring to the documentation below for more information on system variables.

I was aware of that but I can't find the variables LastTopic, Topics,... which you find at the link I included.
Can you tell me how I can access f.e. the LastTopic variable via PowerFx?
