Elusive Variables
# 🤝help
c
Hello!, I am very surprised that sometimes all my variables work correctly, but something happens or I do something wrong that they stop working and no matter how much I look for the error I cannot find it, that happens with some, not all, they even suddenly work for a while magic ??. I don't believe it. Can somebody help me please !!!

Hey there, Could you provide us with an example of them not working when they should be working. If you can then also the steps to recreate the issue.

I have the very same issue. I've been working on getting the workflow.variables to transfer from one workflow to another. then, ulitimately, I want to send all the variaable values to zapier. honestly, my frustration level with this is not healthy lol. I've made sure all variables are listed at each entry and exit point and are toggled on. the variables will hold from one node to another, but sometimes not even then. they'll reset to "empty" or "null" out of the blue. then, 70% will get wiped out from one workflow to the next, but not always the same ones. I am going to open up a new thread titled "Persistent Issue with Workflow Variable Transfer" so I don't hijack your thread @curved-businessperson-31480
did you ever get help on this? I've not got one person to respond to my inquiries.

Indeed, I have the same unhealthy level of frustration with the topic of variables. I'm almost sure it's a problem with the application because I don't have it in other applications. But unfortunately I have not been able to document it for Decay , who offered to study the problem, and I do have the intention but I have not had the time. thank you.
Thanks, the problem persist with “some” variables. I hope to document it as soon as possible.

Sounds good. I am unable to recreate it so it would be fantastic if you can include the steps to recreate i

I think I resolved the issue @curved-businessperson-31480 . It seems they are multiple steps to get this to work. First, I had to go into the workflow and make sure the same variables were added to the variables column in the left side of the dashboard, click the start and end node to toggle those variables om. Then, and this was the elusive step for me, I had to go out of that workflow, back to the main floor and click on the workflow short cut and enter in the value of reach variable again. Let me know if that makes sense. If not, I'll add a screen shot for you

okay! Fantastic, I will try to follow your solution although it seems a bit confusing! I would appreciate your capture!

hope this helps. if you find anyone that knows how to get support for botpress, let me know. I launched my bot and it's horrible. tons of formatting issues that I cannot fix. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1236458774210940978/1245278296359440455/2024-05-29_0-29-01.mp4?ex=66582b4a&is=6656d9ca&hm=8a85d307a5f20a11b808411626ab077edd1fd3e8903db072a0c501f435051871&
