Quick update, I found a solution for my problem.
I basically created a PVA topic meant specifically to create global variables.
I made sure that the question I created was not a multiple choice question because if it was the case my bot would throw an error if the value I am setting in composer is different than the listed options.
For reference, the error it threw when I originally created the above as a multiple choice question is the following :
" we ran into a problem executing your composer dialog. cannot convert variable new_variable_991b6a78ca314cd7a8ecd409f1469824_1f67feefb28646919345212afad7ca80 to a namedentity".
PVA automatically skipped the question when I had my global variable set in composer as follows :
When the above was removed and I tried invoking this in my topic as an input to power automate, then PVA would prompt the user for an answer :
This is working now, and I hope this clarifies it for other people trying to implement the same.
Best
