Hi folks. I've got a workflow that's mostly behaving as it should but has one sticking point I want to try to iron out. The workflow in question is set up so at the start of a new project it gets run, it asks you for the project name, then creates a couple of hierarchical folders in the appropriate places on my drives to keep track of assets, with the top folder in each having the project name it asked you for. Here's the first few steps:
The workflow is working fine, except that when I go to create the next project (usually weeks or months later, so after Automator has been closed and reopened), the bottom step of the screenshot will not have the ProjectName variable there, but instead will show the last project name I've entered. So the act of running the workflow is then replacing the ProjectName variable with the entered value, so when I quit Automator it keeps the entered value.
Is there a way of having it so that the variable stays as a variable, so that when it runs it takes the input, uses it for the ProjectName variable, then doesn't save the inputted text when Automator closes? My use of Automator has pretty much been limited to this one workflow, so my knowledge is pretty finite.
Thanks!
