How can I add a variable to a custom object in Power Automate Desktop?

Hello, 

When I try to add a variable to a custom object it doesn't show the value of the variable but the variable name itself as text.

    Thanks for your insight, I had a bunch of outputs defined and I was adding them to my custom object, but after changing them back to normal variables and doing what you mentioned it works now, I tried doing the same but with outputs but didn't work.

    Hi @aamer007

    Before asking my question, I thought I tried the solution you provided on outputs instead of variables, so I though the issue wasn't the syntax but how the outputs are treated in PAD, but I was wrong, and it was the syntax. Thanks again!
