Currently, the highest level of variable scope is Sequence within a given Xaml. However, an implementation solution consists of multiple xamls, which constitute a project and then a project forms a package which gets deployed to a robot for execution. So, there should be option to define variables at a Project level, which should be available across all xamls which are part of the project. In the absence of this features, implementation teams are required to resort to a lot of workarounds, which not only make the solution complex but also, less reliable. ---

I did go through this topic and even though it looks same, but it’s not. I am saying that we need this functionality and we cannot directly circumnavigate this feature otherwise. This is required product feature, as depending upon the kind of data I am working with, passing values via arguments or via assets might not answer all scenarios or even most of the required scenarios where I am working with high volume data. ---

There are two set of features concerning 1. **Global Variables** - [Global Variables/Global Assets](https://forum.uipath.com/t/global-variables-global-assets/2157) - [Global Variable](https://forum.uipath.com/t/global-variable/1735) and 1. **Complex Data Types** - [Entity - Efficiently reduce number of arguments](https://forum.uipath.com/t/entity-efficiently-reduce-number-of-arguments/894) - [Option to create complex datatypes](https://forum.uipath.com/t/option-to-create-complex-datatypes/2904) I tend to believe that solving **2.** will reduce the need for **1.** as you’ll be able to pass multiple values using only one argument. Though useful in some cases I won’t go for Global Variables. I think that they will encourage wrong workflow design patterns where unexperienced users will prefer to use global variables instead of passing input arguments, which, in the long run will end up in spaghetti workflows, which are difficult to maintain. ---

In the RE\_Framework, today, the information from Config has to be passed to the “Process.xaml” through arguments. It would be great if some component was built, in the framework to make Config directly accessible throughout the projects in the form of a ‘singleton’ like object that J2EE frameworks use very often. You could also use it to store things like UiBrowser objects, so in cases where the Attach Browser is not working, and the UiBrowser has to be passed on to it, we can directly use the project level object from anywhere in the project, as against passing the UiBrowser. ---

Especially in data extraction/input type invokes it gets unwieldy really fast (think multiple 20+ arguments of different types in several workflows). First option would be a Dictionary\, but it’s prone to typo’s (string based keys) and casting in [VB.Net](http://VB.Net) is IMHO ugly (at least compared to C#), which gets in the way of quick and efficient design-time experience.

Please read all below with “as far as I understand” prefixing 🙂 I’d disagree. To me Entity is about creating custom objects (basically DTO’s) inside UiStudio. These are not global in scope (as they’re still normal objects that need to be passed as arguments), nor are they Singleton in nature (as that would prohibit using any type of collection of them, greatly limiting use). This however serves a different need of having a centralized storage for configuration, acting more as the classic app.config (but filled on runtime). I wouldn’t completely agree with proposed use case for UiBrowser object (singletons always are debatable I guess), hence the “possible” in the “possible duplicate” link in my previous post, albeit that one would fill both this one and the global config needs. Feel free to disagree of course (especially OP - let’s not hijack completely 😉 ). ---

So if we had two different things 1. An application correct holding bean like objects 2. app config or app properties location/object/dictionary/map That would do. ---

I see. I’m not very familiar with javabeans but if my understanding is correct, Upen you’d want a combination of Entity and Global vars. If so, when both of these are implemented you could use them for configuration purposes: store all the config settings in an entity and make that entity global. ---
