Error: Variables - Set Variable "The request content was invalid and could not be deserialized:"

[yoshihirok]

I get error about Variables - Set Variable action.

Error message:

The request content was invalid and could not be deserialized: 'Error converting value "SetVariable" to type 'System.Nullable`1[Microsoft.Azure.Flow.Templates.Schema.FlowTemplateOperationType]'. Path 'properties.definition.actions.Set_variable.type', line 1, position

Repro step:

1. Trigger : manual button.

2. Action : Variables - Initialize variable ( Name = Count, Type = Integer, Value = 0 )

3. Action : Variables - Set variable ( Name = Count, Value = 1 )

4. Action : Alert the teams

5. Update flow.

6. Get Error message

When the action "Set variable" remove, I can update well.

I want to use "Set variable" to do more by Microsoft Flow.

I got the same error when "initialize variable" and then "set variable", the only difference is the variable I tried to define and set is a string instead of an integer.

Hope it helps

Hi @yoshihirok i have this issue too, i think it's a 'global bug'. I used the Increment to workaround this bug, and it worked pretty good

Thanks to report.

I've got the same error. The increment does not work for me because I'd like to work with strings.

Is there a solution for this?

@vfortes1depend than you need you can use Compose with 'if' methods inside.Variables right now is only for integers and floats. If you can open a topic about your need and print some pictures we can help.
