Unable to set global variable when it is not blank

Hi Folks,

I'm using a variable (defaultComboValue) to hold the default selection value for a combo box. It will be blank initially and later updated to text input value from another modal box. When the 'defaultComboValue' is blank it works as expected and text input value gets assigned to it - Set(defaultComboValue, TextInput_reltdSkl_1.Text);

Although, whenever it is not blank (holding the previous value assigned to it), it does not get set to a new text value using the same formula. It just gives blank even after using Set() function.

Please reply if anyone has any thoughts on this.

Hi @rbn_nue ,

The function

Set( defaultComboValue, TextInput_reltdSkl_1.Text );

will set the variable to the content of the Text Box TextInput_reltdSkl_1 each time it is run, whether it is blank or not, over-writing whatever was there before. Are you saying you are having issues with this?

Hi @WarrenBelz ,

Thank you for the response. Yes, the issue was with the set function as mentioned. Although I observed that for some reason the text input was going blank after a flow run and this caused the issue. I moved up the set function before the flow was called and the issue was resolved.

Cheers.
