Set a variable at runtime

You can set a variable at runtime by pushing a value to context. This article explains how.

To set a variable value at runtime:

1. Make sure the execution has finished or is running and on a breakpoint. 
2. If the execution is not on a breakpoint, add a breakpoint: Click the circle to the left of a test step and then wait until the test has reached that step and paused.
3. In the browser, click the string you would like to save as a variable value.
4. On the quick action menu, click the disk icon  to push the value to context.
5. In the Add Flow Element dialog box, enter the variable name. Use only regular characters, without spaces.
6. Select the transformation type:
   • None to keep the value as copied
   • Numbers to keep the numerical value and strip off any other characters
   • Number as String for email content starts with a 0 (zero)
7. Click ADD.
