Anyone knows how to pass List eg. %UserList[0]%, %UserList[1]%, .......; etc using Output variables under run desktop flow? I need to pass all items in the List from 1 desktop to another.

Since is only pure text fow now, I think the smartest way of doing it is to Join your list into a long string, then output it. Afterwards, you can input it, then Split the string into a list again.

@Heddanewman @John_Mavridis any information about when other data types than text will be able to be transferred?

This is indeed an alternative. Do you know whether there is a limit to the number of characters that the string can "hold" to pass as output variable ?
So far, when I set List as output variable under Run desktop flow, it returns an error. Perhaps, there is limitation, to date, on this.

Hi there,
Supporting more data types for input variables is a feature to be worked on within the next year, tentatively during Q1 or Q2.
