Behavior:
When using the Workflow Designer test tool, the following values are returned(sorted by data type):
- String: Some_String,Some_String_1,Some_String_2
- Integer: 123.45
- Decimal: 123.45
- Keyword: Some_String,Some_String_1,Some_String_2
- Date: [Current Date in GMT] i.e. “1/31/2023”
- DateTime: [Current DateTime in GMT] i.e. “1/31/2023 9:15:36 PM
Solution:
The following values are returned because the data assignments that fill these variables have a data source set from a File Cabinet Lookup or a Local Data Connector Lookup. By product design, the Workflow Designer Test tool cannot perform database queries. As a result, any data assignments made via either of the above lookup types will return the corresponding values for each data type.
If your workflow contains these types of lookups, we recommend testing any workflows by publishing them and triggering them on the system rather than using the Test tool.
