As an RPA-Developer, I'd like to be able to rename the output variable of a an activity without the possibility of the name colliding with reserved variable or another output variable, in order to ensure robustness.


💭   Hints & Thoughts

There should be a check to not rename the outputVars the same as the reserved variables used by the RPAf as this could cause problems if a user decides to name the outputVarName after a reserved variable and tries to execute the robot.
Implement a check if an activity already has that outputVarName when trying to create a new one. This prevents giving the same variableName to two different activities.

❓   Additional Questions to Answer / Consider


✅   Conditions of satisfaction

  • Should check which variables are used by RPA framework and collect them all
  • Should write a function that checks whether the output variable name set by the user is colliding with one of the reserved variables
  • Should also write a function that checks if the name set by the user for the output variable of an activity is already used by another activity output variable.
  • Should call these two functions whenever changes to the output variable are made and display a notification to the user if name is not possible and could not be saved
