Exploring arguments
In UiPath, the goal of a variable is to store data within the specified scope and pass it on to other variables or activities as required. A real-world automation project includes more than one workflow, hence the use of variables is not enough to connect the workflows. Arguments in UiPath come into play to fill this gap by acting as a container that allows the transfer of data between multiple workflows. Arguments are very similar to workflows as they store data dynamically based on their defined data types. However, the difference is that arguments have a Direction property that describes how the data is transferred between workflows. Further, the use of arguments enables users to reuse automation workflows in multiple projects.
Let's take a look at the properties of arguments.
