Global variable is not updated

[kintrupf]

I have a problem with a global variable. Instead of storing the value of the current cell ID it stores null.
The attached flow is executed every 5 minutes from another flow with a timer.

With on-screen notifications I have verified that the "cid" variable from the phone GSM trigger has valid cell IDs.
But the assignment to "global_CellID" simply does not work, instead of the cell ID null is stored.
If I use an on-screen notification to display the contents of global_CellID after the assignment null is displayed.
In the global variable list the value is also shown as null.

What is wrong?

Manually executing a flow or executing a flow using Execute Flows bypasses the regular trigger of the flow so the variables normally set by the trigger are not available in the flow. The variable cid will contain null in this case.

You can use a flow like this to store the cell ID every 5 minutes in a global variable:
Cell Update Flow:
-trigger Periodic Timer: 5m
-condition Phone Cell GSM: Connected to CIDs *
-->true: -action Script: global_cid=cid
