container for variable initializing

@Microsoft...
I have seen it over and over again the need to manage log lists of variable initializations at the root of the flow. While programmatically it makes sense that all of this must happen early in the flow. Visually it is crazy annoying for all of us. Since the Power Automate too is simply used to graphically represent programing that is then converted to actual programing behind the scenes why not create and Action that is simply a container (similar to a scope) but could be dedicated to only allow variable initialization actions. It is only used to graphically display the long list of variables we all use.

Please Please Please make this happen!

Hi there!

I'm with you and understand. What I am doing as a temporary measure is putting 6-8 variables as parallel actions and helps keep the flow looking clean.
