So I’m using the assign statement in a flow… and of course there are multiple places I’d like to make an assignment to my variable copy_this_contact as I go through all of the logic…
But then when I go to test for its value later, I have two to choose from 
Is this a bug, or a strange feature? 
Yes currently the Data Picker - skips the condition as it doesn’t know what the result will be in design time, and just shows both possible expressions to let you pick from.
Will see if we can improve that
Fair enough!
What do you think would be the best kind of assignment to make to achieve my goal?
An external (normal) variable?
@George, if I am updating and testing an external variable via the Run => command, can I guarantee the updates made will have changed the external variable value before I test it later in the Flow?
