How can I access KM variables inside a Script Condition?

Questions & Suggestions

Hello, community.

I would like to access KM variables inside a Script Condition. I created a minimal working example. In my test, I am using JavaScript For Automation script. I am setting localText to 1, but the alert shows "Is not 1". Is there something wrong in the macro ?

The problem is you're not using "Modern Syntax" for your JavaScript and you're not allowing any KM variables into the scope of the script.

The change you need to make is simple: just click the down-arrow to the left of the script text box and check these two items as shown here:

That should do the trick!

Thank you, @tiffle. I have been using Modern Syntax in Execute a JavaScript For Automation action, but I hadn't seen that down-arrow to the left of the script box.
