Can only create string input variables

Posted on by torkil

I have searched and found many places with screenshots of people using data types other than string for their input variables, but mine does not have a dropdown where I can select other data types. Anyone know why?

As you can see, data type "string" is the only thing available to me.

Hey @torkil , that's a little weird. For the first time I am seeing this.
Try updating to the latest version of Power Automate Desktop. Hopefully that works. Not really sure!!! Lets see...

I had exactly the same issue of not being able to change variable types in PAD. I wonder if it was a bug that has now been resolved in the latest versions. If so, I am so glad!!
