Task Purpose

The newVariable task creates a new job variable. The result is similar to promoting the outgoing variable of an automatic task to a job variable. You can create a new boolean, number, string, object, or array variables.

Properties

Property	Description
New Variable Name	Type a name for the new variable. Job Variable names must adhere to IAP Naming Conventions. The naming rules are found here.
Variable Source	Specify where to find the value of the new variable (a job variable, a static value, or an earlier task). Select the appropriate reference task then either select the reference variable or type a new description for a static reference.
Value	If value location is static, the Value field becomes a text editor; type the new value. Otherwise the Value field becomes a dropdown list; select an existing job or task variable.
