How Can I Set/Initialize Multiple Variables in One Action?

Questions & Suggestions
1

Using KM 6 on Mavericks.

I’ve got a KM macro that uses several variables.
I would like to initialize all of these variable in one Action at the top macro.

Any Action where I can type:

Set VarA to %DELETE%
Set VarB to %DELETE%
Set VarC to %DELETE%
etc.

OR must I add a separate Action for each variable?

( FWIW when you experiment with Yosemite JXA, you may find that it works well to use KM variables to store JSON strings - easily serialising and retrieving an arbitrary number of (possibly nested) key-value pairs in one string variable with the built-in functions JSON.stringify() and JSON.parse() )

There is no way to do that. Well, in 7.0 you can do this:

  • For Variable Index in Number Range 1 to 10
    • Set variable “Var%Variable%Index%” to text “%Delete%”

Why not just put all the Set Variable’s in a Group (er, sorry, version 6, in a Repeat 1) action and then undisclose it (and in 7, rename it to “Set Variables” (sorry, couldn’t resist)).

OK, thanks.
