Is there a way to handle array or sets in a response from a flow?

I would like to handle responses a bit more dynamically than a single variable at a time which is the current method.

Is there a way to return and surface a response in the form of an array, or even better a formatted HTML table? Also, is there a size or character limit to what the response can surface in the chat?

Thanks!

Hi @jpirelli,

Thanks for your question. This is currently unsupported but something we are looking into. The goal is to create a list of variables type in Power Virtual Agents to which you could map the output of the Flow. Is that something that would work for your use case?

HI @mivakoc
Thanks for the reply. It should help, in returning an array it also creates some challenges about how I can use the variable since there is no mechanism for manipulating the results into a readable response?

Any eta on when that would be addressed?
Thanks!

Hi, when we enable the functionality, we will look into the challenge you outlined. We currently don't have a specific timeline for enabling this functionality.
