@Naveen_Kumar6,

Make sure TypeArgument property is set to String datatype.

@Naveen_Kumar6,

Yes, you do have Char Datatype available. Just click on Browse for types.. and search for System.Char

there is no “Type Argument” option sir,

The image shows a UiPath workflow Switch activity with an error indicating that the required 'Expression' argument has not been supplied. (Captioned by AI)

@Naveen_Kumar6,

Got it. I tried on 2025 and found it’s really different to switch characters. I tried to get it working but no luck so I made a workaround to convert character to string and then switch based on string.

Add any other variable type, and the variable’s type will automatically adjust. If you input an integer variable, it will be converted from a string to an integer.
