Hello  
I want to have a sorted list in my Enhanced Prompt for Variables action which includes my variables as values. When I enter the following to the Values field:  
  
%myVar1%  
%myVar2%  
%myVar3%  
%myVar4%  
  
and mouse over the values, the variables values display their current values correctly.  
  
When I run the action, the list dropd down to display the variables as i have entered:   
%myVar1%  
%myVar2%  
%myVar3%  
%myVar4%  
  
I want my list to display the current values. Is this possible?   
Michelle

Hi Michelle,  
  
There’s an “Expand Variables” checkbox on the General Settings tab of the Prompt For Variables (Enhanced) action. With it checked, you should be seeing the expanded values of the variables when you run the action.  
  
Regards,

Thanks! I missed that option.
