Blue Prism API - Radio button option for Env variable in Swagger

Neel1 — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 13:16:51 GMT

i am using v7.3.1 . i noticed that in swagger UI - there is option for radio button in env variable to select/filter but when we create env variable in BP GUI - there is no such option.

Can someone help me in understanding this

In reviewing the BPAPI 7.3 documentation's Environment Variables section, 'RadioButtons' is an available dataType and resultType -- can you please elaborate on your question here?

For example, what are you looking to do with this dataType that you can't currently do in the stated scenario, and what is the ideal outcome?

Hey @steven.boggs - thanks for your reply. Let me re-phrase my ask .

in BP UI - while creating a new Env Variable, there is no option to create variable as radio button

but in Swagger- there is option to select/filter env variable by Type as radio button.

My question is if env variable of type Radio button cant be created in first place so why we have option in swagger to select or filter.

Hi @Neel1

The BP list you show are datatypes (where data is stored), a Radio Button is a control (a screen element or control) - these are very different things.

In Blue Prism the value from a Choice screen element can be stored either in a Text data item (as "True" or "False" or in a Flag data item as True or False...

In summary... I'm still not sure what the question is (Sorry!)
