# values

> Use the values task to return an array of the enumerable property values of an object.

The `values` task returns an array whose elements are the enumerable property values of a given object.

## Potential use case

Use `values` to create an array for use in a loop later in the workflow. This task is most commonly used in combination with other tasks in an automation workflow.

## Properties

| Incoming | Type   | Description                                                               |
| :------- | :----- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `obj`    | Object | Required. The object whose enumerable property values are to be returned. |

| Outgoing | Type  | Description                                                  |
| :------- | :---- | :----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `values` | Array | An array containing the enumerable property values of `obj`. |

## Example 1

In this example, the `obj` keys are `"first"` and `"last"` with values `"myFirstName"` and `"myLastName"` respectively.

The outgoing `values` array contains the two property values:

The outgoing `values` array contains the nested object as an element:
