Hi @Pratik,
You can use invoke workflow file activity and invoke the sequence you want to reuse therein there is an option Import Arguments where you can import the variable from one workflow to another.

Pratik,

• If you wanna use the variables(along with the values in one xaml) in the other xaml, then follow the steps provided by Jyotsna.
• Incase you are in need to create\copy the same variables from one .xaml doc to other doc then you need to follow the steps provided in the below posts (After opening in Notepad or notepad++)

How does one copy variable definitions between projects

Hi b4bbler, To copy variable from one “XAML” file to another, open that xaml file using notepad. XAML are basically XML files. Now go to “<Sequence.Variables>” tag. There you can find all the variable that belongs to that xaml file. Simply copy/paste “<Variable>” tags from one xaml to another. Save and then click “Refresh” from “Project” panel of UiPath studio.

Copy variables over in simplified manner

I was faced with this task just today (which is how I got to this post). I tried to look around for options in Studio and find easy ways to migrate variables, but right now there doesn’t seem to be a way. I ended up modifying the xaml and copy pasting all variable rows from my source workflow to target workflow. I found them in the <Flowchart.Variables> tag in both cases. <Flowchart.Variables> <Variable x:TypeArguments="x:Boolean" Name="NewTransaction" /> </Flowchart.Variables>

Please remember that err in the editing will collapse your entire xaml. Also do copy and paste the values enclosed within your <Activity> node.

Hi Jyotsna,

Thanks for the tip. However i need to copy them as I am redoing the code and just want to save time by not creating all the variables again.

Thanks.
