Setting Values for Flow input variables when editing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by praveentiru 2

I have a simple problem. I am unable to figure out how to set values for flow input variables when I am editing the flow. Right now, I am setting default values so, that flow takes those values.

 

I do not like this approach as there are certain sensitive data. As I do not want to expose this data to flow users, I have to set the values every time I start editing the flow.

    Hello Praveen,

     

    A good way to parameterize values is using Environment value definition. You can try that. I am not sure exactly how your flow looks like. If you could share the screenshot then it would be easier to understand the problem.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response. I am talking about input variables in screenshot below.

    I cannot use Env variables because, this flow is designed to used by multiple users interactively where they input the variables. I do not have any issue on how it works when it is executed. The challenge is setting the variables when I am editing the flow. I do not see any "Run with Variables" option or, Flow does not ask me for values when I click Run button in this window.
