Environment Variables - Flow uses the old value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi All,

 

I created a Solution.

As part of this solution, I created a string environment variable.

Then I created a Flow that uses the value of an environment variable.

After updating the value of the environment variable, Flow continues to refer to the old value.

For Flow to start using the new value, I have to enter the edit mode of this flow and assign an environment variable again and save the flow.

Then Flow already refers to the new value.

Does anyone know why this is or should it be?

Help me my community!

    I found the answer, This is one of the constraints of variables. You have to either modify the Flow or turn it off and on again.

    Thanks a lot for sharing this tip. I did notice that I have to edit and the flow and remove/add the variable again for this to work. Turn it off and on again did the trick.
