Hi All,

is it possible to use inline variables in the Loop Input field for the Loop Operator? I’ve tried different options and it seems not possible?

Not Working:

Working:

If this is not possible is there other way how can I achieve this?

If that is not working, use the “`Define Variable`” operator inside the loop and store the value that you are trying as an inline variable in that “`Defina Variable`” operator. And use that variable instead. That should also work.
