Emmanuel Katto Dubai - automate the retrieval and management of environment variables in my workflow

[emmanuelkatto24]

Hi everyone,

I'm Emmanuel Katto from Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), I’ve always found it a bit cumbersome to update a value in an environment variable, especially when you need to scroll through a long list, locate the variable, and then manually update it.

For instance, if a member's email address is used in multiple environment variables across different processes, and that member leaves the team, is there a way to easily replace or update all occurrences of their email address in one go—perhaps through an action or code stage that automates this in a single run?

If that’s not possible, wouldn’t it be beneficial to have a search feature that allows you to filter environment variables by their values? Currently, you can filter by variable name (as in v7.3), but it would be great if we could also search by value to make this process easier.

Just a thought I wanted to share with the product team! Any insights or suggestions are welcome.

Regards

Emmanuel Katto

Hi @emmanuelkatto24,

Thanks for taking the time for raising an idea.

The filter/search box in the Environment Variables and Credential screens can be used to filter on value already by using the "in:" keyword in Blue Prism Enterprise 7.3 and in the recent 7.4 release we've now also localized this so the same keyword is present in each language - for example "dans:" in French.

Can you confirm whether, based on this update, you feel that your idea is already addressed? I'm going to set this to Needs More Info pending your reply.

Regards,

Rob
