Edit Global Constant

Have the option of creating and editing global constants within a workflow.

 

Rather than bringing in a text/numeric input and having this appended and connected to various parts of the workflow, a constant could be created and used in each instance for a cleaner, condensed workflow and robust usage of consistent data

Hey @Nmetzgen - there is a concept of constants on the workflow configuration section (workflow tab), where you can define a global constant for a workflow and use it in all formulas.

Is there something different to this that you were thinking of?

This feature was implemented in a past release via creating constants in the workflow tab of workflow configuration. As such I'm updating this idea to implemented! 

 

Thank you for the ping Joe!
