I am using Process Flow Designer version 9.0.1. My problem is that I am trying to reassign oCatValue, but it is not a choice in the list of variables in the Assign node. I tried creating a javascript:
oCatValue=NewValue
where NewValue is another variable, and that is not working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you very much.

I do this all the time and haven't had any trouble with it. I save the current value since it will be needed again, assign a new value, and then restore the original value before it is needed again. My save and assign statements are:
sSaveCatValue = oCatValue
oCatValue = Company + Old_Process_Level
Works fine for me. Of course, there have to be User Task Definitions in the PF Admin tool with the correct Work Category (e.g. Supervisor) and Work Category Values (e.g. 10004321) assigned to User ID's for this to work.

I missed that you said oCatValue wasn't in the list of variables. That might mean that your Process Properties aren't associated with the Service name (e.g. Action Approval).

You have two choices - get a newer version of ProcessFlow Designer or trick the system. The version of the Designer that you're using didn't allow you to update oCatValue, which is stupid and Lawson allowed it again in a later version.
What I did was to create a variable called CatValue and then I opened the XML file in TextPad and revised it to oCatValue. Pretty simple workaround.

Thank you, David. That worked and now I can reassign oCatValue. I appreciate your help.
