Hi Alexeik,
If you're looking for polymorphism in Blue Prism, it's not inherently supported. However, I suppose you can still sort of accomplish the goal. You can do method overloading in a way. For example, let's say you wanted to run one method or another based on the number of provided inputs. And let's say your object's action takes two inputs: varA and varB.
Your action would start by determining which of the two inputs parameters (varA or varB) have been given input data. Maybe your primary path/method is if both variables are given data. You would use a decision stage to check [varA]"""" AND [varB]"""". If this comes out to true, then your primary method is used and you just call a subpage that contains your primary logic that uses those values.
If, however, no input data is given to those input parameters and the expression ([varA]"""" AND [varB]"""") comes out to false, then you use a secondary path/method/subpage that runs the action differently perhaps using default values.
Notice that Blue Prism is not object-oriented. It does not have inheritance and polymorphism. It does not support dynamic object references. It is intended as a code free development environment. You might be able to get a similar end result, as with my example above, but Blue Prism isn't where you'll want to do that kind of advanced stuff.
