Deleting Global Variables

[98b427af]

How do I delete a global variable from within a flow or script? Assigning 'null' like this doesn't do it:

Code: Select all

global_aVar = null;

The variable still appears in the list of global variables, with a value of 'null'.

Thanks.

Hi,

There is currently no way to delete a variable in script. You have to use menu->Manage->Global Variables to completely delete a global variable.
I have added it to my todo-list to add a way to do this from a script.

Please bump up the priority of this a bit.
Having a "removeVariable" function which is not able to remove global variables is a bit pointless, since local variables are automatically deleted when a flow ends...

It does remove globals, at least as of v1.20.0. Remember to pass the variable name as a string:

removeVariable("global_x")

Ups, that I didn't try
Works, thank you!
