Setting variables with regular text breaks the flow
Setting variables with regular text breaks the flow
At a glance
The community member was trying to create an "Initialization" group to set variables for their flow, but using the "Set variable" blocks with "Custom" and "Text" as the value stopped the flow from executing completely. They noticed that a "Text Bubble" before the initialization displayed, but anything after it did not. The community member suspected this was a bug with the "Set variable" block that might break the flow's execution.
In the comments, another community member asked for a reproduction, but another said they couldn't reproduce the issue. A third community member suggested using an "input block". Finally, the original poster said the issue seemed to have resolved itself without them doing anything, and they marked their post as solved.
I wanted to try having an "Initialization" group where I create and set all of the variables I'll later need in the flow. However, using the Set variable blocks with Custom and Text as its value stops the flow from executing completely.
As you can see on the attached screenshot, I put a Text Bubble that says "Hi" before initialization, which displays when previewing the bot, but the Text Bubble that says "variables initialized" (or anything that comes after) is never executed.
I suspect this is a bug with the Set variable block that might break the flow's execution.
As I was just reproducing the error step by step (and typing them to you while testing), it seems to have solved itself, without me touching anything. That's great haha. Thanks anyway!
