This should be in the docs somewhere. Maybe here:

I solved the problem by putting a breakpoint at the “wait for form task and continue” and at the watch panel, i put all the datatables variables that were visible in the action center scope, in my case action center activities were in “Flowchart” scope. If there was any datatable with value on it, this error occuried. If the datatable variables were with value “null” or “the value cannot be evaluated” (not visible in this scope), the activity worked fine.

Hi,

I solved my problem adding an assing activity right below the initialization of the datatable, i was using queues and i had to deserialize my datatable, so adding the assing once the deserialization has been completed solved my problem
Left Side: YourDTVar.TableName
Right Side: “AnyNameYouWant”

Regards!
