These variables can be overwritten/modified during the flow run, these are just their initial values.
Fields
These fields let you configure fields that will be used when exporting this flow as a template.
If you do not wish to export a flow as a template, you do not need to set these.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the field. See below |

| If Value | Either the string value or a regular expression the other field must match. For booleans user true or false |

Field Name
The field name can either be a name of a variable you can use in a flow, for example Output_Path, which you can then use in multiple flow elements.
Or it can be the strong name of a flow element field.
Strong Names
The strong name is {FlowElementName}.{FlowElementField}.
To make strong names work, the flow element must be named without spaces or special characters, for example to set a Codec on
a FFMPEG Builder: Audio Add Track you would need to set the name on that flow element.
For example Add_Audio_Track then the strong name would be Add_Audio_Track.Codec
