Hi,

In a Run&nbsp;Script action I want to iterate over all defined variables in JavaScript.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is there an array I&nbsp;can access that has all the currently defined variables?

&nbsp;

Thanks!

In addition to currently defined variables, is it possible to access the variable description and/or group?

Thanks!

Hi Nelson,   
  
 There isn’t really a good way of doing this except for using the Log Variables action to write all the variables to a variable then parsing it to extract the names.
