Trying to delete some floating variables

[VAGR_ISK]

Hi Guys,

I generate a lot of floating variables in one step of the workflow, but after I don’t need it anymore for later steps. However, I need a way to get out of those floating variables after the critical steps, but I don’t find something like a “floating variable filter node” to eliminate those unnecessary variables. The only way I have to do so is to use the process inside of the component, but it is not too handy in some cases.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

VAGR.

@VAGR_ISK there is a feature request and a lengthy discussion with some suggestions and components and sample workflows:

overwrite Path variable, how to

@gonhaddock currently there only seems to be the way to try and use a Component that would not let one variable thru. Apparently there is a task (AP-16515) to create a variable filter. I think one will have to be careful since this might result in unintended consequences.

Hi @VAGR_ISK -

Sounds like you might want to add a vote to this very popular topic :

Variable filter after merge variable node

Hello, how could I eliminate the unnecessary flow variables after the Merge Variable Node? [image] Thanks! Roland

Thanks Scott for mentioning the vote.

I voted, but I don’t know if that will be ever done since your last comment in the post you referred is from 2020

There are new comments in that thread as recently as a couple of days ago. It’s a little misleading since that thread has had other threads merged into it over time, which makes the timelines weird.
