Problem with variables and "Execute Javascript on Webpage action"

Hi everyone!

I'm going through a really rough time trying to understand how to properly use the "Execute Javascript on Webpage" action.

I have a few variables in my flow, that will come from a cloud flow. Nevertheless, I'm testing it with default values.

The variables are:

%String1%
- Type: Text;
- Value: ABCDEFG.
%Name%
- Type: Text;
- Value: Lorem Ipsum;
%Rate%
- Type: Number;
- Value 1,50

I have got 3 simple "Execute Javascript on Webpage" action, with only console.logs to identify each one, and a console.log(%variable here%).

Although, with both string variables, it seems the code block does not run at all.

With the number variable, it did run, but it logged the variable value as "1 50", which I assume might be a locale issue because of the decimal separator.

I need the text variables because I need to use them in some input fields of the page, but I can't achieve it since it apparently does not even run.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hi,
You could try passing parameters into the javascript function. In the image I attached there is an example that worked for me.

console.log() does not do anything in PAD, as you're not running this in the context of the JS console. Use "return" instead of console.log() in your function to return output.

If you shared your JS function, I could be a bit more specific as to how to use it.
