Write id variable at the start of a flow and use as prefix to rename multiple columns

[ed_b]

Hi,

I am new to Alteryx and unless I am mistaken, it appears that it is not as easy to find or think of some solutions that are simple in programming languages.

For example, how would one write an id variable e.g. "test-001" as a prefix to multiple fields created at various stages along a processing flow, without setting it manually multiple times? I want a user to only have to set it once and set it as a new field prefix, where applicable, instead of setting it manually multiple times.

I have accepted your answer as I realise these work arounds are a cumbersome and not insignificant limitation of the program and not your solution building. Thank you for all your help.
