Hello All, Is there a way to create a variable of type _Array_ in a workflow? My requirement is to define a hardcoded list of elements in the array and then iterate over each element within the workflow. Thanks, Anirban ---

According to the documentation: “All variable output types are string unless the last applied operation is Get Index. If Get Index is the last operation, the output type is an integer.” > **[Workflow Operators - SailPoint Identity Services](https://documentation.sailpoint.com/saas/help/workflows/workflow-operators.html#define-variable)** > > SailPoint Identity Services Documentation ---
