Assign value to action result
Solution No. 133
This action sets an Action Result variable to a specified value, which can then be used in subsequent actions, such as when a button is clicked.
So where would we use it?
This is a very commonly-used action with many applications. An example of use would be if you wanted to store a temporary value to be grabbed later in the action sequence. It's important to note that action results can only be used in the same object or field they're created in: otherwise, you would need to use the Assign Value to Shared Result action.
