Posted on by Waqar Qureshi

I created a topic where I am calling an agent flow that outputs a string using the (respond to an agent action).

However when trying to assign it to a variable I don't get the pop-up screen to edit, however it does show up in my URL funny enough, just not in the UI. Here are the steps I'm taking to replicate it:

My Topic Flow Overview:

Create new variable:

After clicking "Create New":

Clicking on Var1 to edit it - this is where nothing pops up to prompt me to edit the variable. However the URL suggests I am:

For background and full context, this is the agent flow I am calling and how I am outputting:

Some things I've checked:

- I don't have a pop-up blocker thinking this is what's stopping the UI from popping up

- I'm not aware of any settings native to Microsoft Edge that need to be changed

Thanks @Michael E. Gernaey for the suggestion. It looks like double clicking on Var1 doesn't seem to have the variable open up either. It does modify the URL and looks like it is in "edit" but it doesn't actually pop up in the UI for me.

HI @Waqar Qureshi,
It appears to be a UI issue — I’ve faced this as well.
After clicking Create new from the variable pop-up:

Leave it as is and click Save.

Then, click on the variable (e.g., Var1).

This time, the properties page should open correctly, and you can configure it as needed.

I hope this information helps! If it does, please consider giving a 👍.
Best regards,
S-Venkadesh
