Variables Not Defined Error Message In Flow

Posted on by viperdudeuk

I have a flow which has some variables defined. Later on in the flow I change the value of the variable from it's initial value. Later on still in the flow I am trying to use this variable to update a dynamics 365 record but I am getting this error message when trying to save the Flow.

Flow save failed with code 'InvalidVariableOperation' and message 'The inputs of workflow run action 'Update_a_row_3' of type 'OpenApiConnection' are not valid. The variable 'Download_Speed' must be initialized before it can be used inside action 'Update_a_row_3'.'.

I have initialized the variable so what is the issue here? To repeat a value is set on initializing the variable and it is changed earlier on in the flow. I totally confused by this error message.

Can anyone help me?

Many thanks

Jon

And now we need the action where you initialized the variable. Check if the expression where you use the variable is spelled correctly.

Have you checked if there is a space after the name?

Can you share a screenshot from the whole flow and the peek code of "Update_a_row_3"?

Have you also tried to pick the value from the dynamic content again?

I don't see the peek code of "Update_a_row_3". And you really should get rid of all those variables. Are you updating all the variables individually more than one time in this flow.

The peek is the third image. All of the variables are needed in the flow.
