  4. Optional: If the variable's type is other than string, click the String dropdown and select the relevant type. See Variable types.

    Note

    Tasks and actions (except tasks and actions added via the older Task catalog) interpret custom variables as a string, even if the custom variable was created with a different type. If the task needs another type, convert the variable in the code.

  5. Click plus_add.png Add.

The custom variable has been added.
