Hi,

Can I please get a quick example of how to return a value from a target/action list?  
I know this is supposed to be a new feature in FB8, but I could not figure out how to do it and could not find any relevant documentation.

Thanks,

The trick is in the Run Target action, on the options tab, specify a variable to receive the value of the parameter after the target has run, and then in the target, set the target parameter using the Set variable action. Not all that intuitive, but it allows returning multiple values without major architectural changes. Example attached.
