Issue/Introduction:

Error Message :
N/A

Even though conditions are a part of the Workflow, variables of a workflow can't be used in preconditions and postconditions of a task of that Workflow, if the underlying Object is set to no variable inheritance.

Cause:

Cause type:
Configuration
Root Cause: Conditions are executed in the context of the task. If the Task does not inherit values from its parent, they can not be used in Conditions of that task.

Environment:

Release: AUTWAB99000-11.0-Automic Workload Automation-Base Edition
Component:

Resolution:

Conditions are executed in the context of the task which means that all variables of the task can be used.

All system-variables, such as &$RUNID#, &$NAME#, etc. will be set with the values of the task.

So if the task does not inherit the object values from it's parent, they cannot be used in conditions.

Fix Status: No Fix
