How do I make a global variable, being in a version that global variables do not exist?

[mateo_marquez]

I need to save a fact (varchar)
And consume it in another workflow, but the version that I am using UiPath has no global variables.
Being a big project I can’t update.
Any idea of ​​how can it be done?

@mateo_marquez,

Unfortunately no direct option.

You can have workarounds like storing the value you want to be available everywhere into a text file or excel if complex data.

Read the file whichever workflow requires the value and use it modify it for further process.

This is the only way.

Thanks,
Ashok

Workflow2:

Output:

You can optimize by creating a workflow to read any desired text file into variable.

Storing it in an Asset would be much simpler.

And just adding to @postwick answer, if the number shouldn’t be seen by anyone, you can store it as a credential asset and use only the password field.
