Vernalis: Extend functionality of Read / Write Variable Nodes
Hi @Vernalis,
I’d like to suggest to improve the Read / Write Variables nodes with the following functionality:
Add option to read / write to Workflow Data Directory or other paths similar to the Table Reader
Selectively write and read variables
Especially the last request will be useful when combined with loops. I faced an interesting situation yesterday when working on this workflow:
Upon the 3rd iteration the bottom port of the switch was triggered, reading the variables from the previous iteration which seem to have overwritten the variable “currentIteration”.
Not bad per se as I immediately thought this could be really helpful to conditionally skip or reiterated but on the other hand it seems to have been counterproductive at that time. Big thanks as always in case you consider this request.
Best
Mike
