Release notes
Create a new Set Process Variables node. The old version will continue to work, but must be swapped out for newer version to take advantage of the following updates:
Set Process Variables
- Added two outputs:
-- Success: returns true unless exception was thrown -- ErrorMessage: returns the exception message when Success = false
- Now handles cdt version updates on nested cdts
- Now leaves pvs or cdt fields unchanged instead of nullifying when encountering multiplicity, type, or field existance mismatches between source and targets (including fields within cdts)
