    Can you share a screenshot of the warning and your flow?
    Is it really an error and not warning?



    If its a warning you can just ignore it since that does not stop your flow from running. 

    in my example its giving warning since NewVar is taking in %InputTestVar% -input variable and that may or may not have a value when you start the flow. 
    If you want to get rid off the warning add "Set variable" -action that sets the input variable to be itself. Like so:
