Using Input Dialog Variables passed from PVA to Bot Framework Composer

Hi there,

I'm trying to create a dynamic adaptive card bot which gets an array of values from Power Automate and passes these in as available options on an adaptive card in Bot Framework Composer.

I can find lots and lots of examples of passing values from BFC to PVA, but I can't find any examples of PVA to BFC.

I've added an 'input' variable into the dialog interface, but I can't see any way of accessing and using this variable within the code 😞

My idea was to reference this within the adaptive card so the list of choices would update depending on the array I passed through, but this doesn't work:

Has anyone else managed to achieve something similar or know if this is even possible?

I don't see why we have the option to pass input variables if we can't use them?

Thanks!

Re: Using Input Dialog Variables passed from PVA to Bot Framework Composer

Not exactly the same requirement as yours, but I've done something similar to this (https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General/how-to-get-user-value-back-to-PVA-from-Bot-Framework-Composer/m-p/1209034#M2535)

You need to have your variable in PVA to be created as Global which you would be sending to BFC and you need to set those variable properties as virtualagent.<variable_name>
