We pushed an update intended to better align the Set Variable command with the value type that is stored with the action.

One thing we’ve noticed is that if the variable was originally created as a different type (eg. true/false), and a Set Variable action was created at that time, then the variable was later deleted and recreated, if the Set Variable action wasn’t modified it might still have the original target type of true/false rather than text.

Can you try the following steps to make sure the Set Variable action has the appropriate target value type:

1. Open the rule for editing and edit the impacted Set Variable block
2. Switch the ‘Source’ to Manual Input and then back to Expression*
3. Save the Set Variable block and then Save your rule

You should be able to run your rule again and it will pick up the proper inferred value type for the expression. Video demonstration attached.

*The expression should be retained when switching the source to Manual and immediately switching it back to Expression, but you can always copy the expression to your clipboard as a precaution.
