Good Day Everyone!

Sorry for maybe a noob question. I am totally new to CRM and would like to know more about it.

I am trying to create a simple workflow that will return a string value to my output parameter.

I created a button using ribbon workbench that would call a custom action having an input and an output parameter.

I tested what kind of output my workflow is generating and it is different from what i wanted.

Here is my workflow

I am getting an output that looks like this (output is inside an alert)

I only want to get the "Test String" as my output value.

Thanks for the help!

RE: Undesired Output value

Hi David,

You could set this output argument to any field of the record to know the value of this record.

//this is the name of the parameter that will be returned back to the workflow [Output("Credit Score")] //this line identifies the specific attribute which will be passed back to the workflow [AttributeTarget(CustomEntity, "new_creditscore")] //this line declares the output parameter and declares the proper data type of the parameter being passed back. public OutArgument<int> CreditScore {get;set;}

See the links below.

Hi David,

Where are you using the output parameters? Can you post your entire code?
