Odd Global Variable Behavior

Hello @bsikes. 
I suggest you use a global function that can be added to any category. Right click and after creating don’t forget to publish it. Then use it within any wizard as there’s also an advanced called “global functions” accessible from within the wizard. 
if you google global functions kryon - then you should find some helpful videos online. Otherwise reach out to me - Marlon Gobitz. 

Hi @gobitz ,

I’ll look at doing that instead. But would you be able to provide some insight as to how the Global Variable is supposed to work? Conceptually, what I’m trying to accomplish really should be a variable, not a function.

Thank you

The global function is a set of variables. Try it out and you’ll see if it’s what you need.

I understand what global functions are - we’re already using those in our environment. I’m trying to learn more about the purpose of Global Variables, as they’re not behaving as I expected they should. 

Global Variable is just like any other Variable. 

The only difference is that a global variable to a local variable is that it is visible across multiple wizards.

I hope it helps.

@fguaragna Thanks for responding.

That’s what I assumed, but I also assumed the variable would remain out there indefinitely, so that other Wizards could continue to make use of it. If that’s not the case, then what determines when a global variable is deleted?

Thanks!
