Custom variables are automatically mapped to RayFlow datafields using the rules described in the chapter Updating data field values. The names must be defined at workflow-creation time. In order to avoid mistakes, PackBench contains a simple function to automatically import RayFlow variables, which ensures that:
•Variables are of correct types
•Their default values are the same
•Their validation rules are the same
•Their names ensure that the mapping will be automatically recognized when updating the values back.
