Hi All,

I created a global browser instance variable in the Launch subflow, but when I try to use it in another subflow to update the details, I’m getting the error shown below. Could you please help me resolve this?

Error Massage: Invalid usage. You can only access global variables explicitly from local subflows.

The issue is that you cannot use global variables inside branches (if, region, etc.). However, you can create a local variable in a local subflow outside the branches and assign the global variable’s value to it. This is shown in the screenshot.

It's ridiculous that you can't use global variable inside branches (if, loop, for-loop, etc.). It defeats the purpose of being truly global; hence what' the use of global variables then?....more like a bug to me that MS needs to fix.
