Reading Instance variables from scripts. (Does seem to be possible)

we do seem to be able to read Instance Variables from scripts, as long as we provide an instance argument to the .getvariable method.

Yes, KM 8.0.3 provided us with script access on Oct 3:

KM8: Local and Instance Variables

As of 8.0.3, local and instance variables should work in Prompt For User Input and Custom HTML Input windows. Also, you can now access them from scripts by using the KMINSTANCE environment variable as a key to which set of variables. set inst to system attribute "KMINSTANCE" tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine" set v to getvariable "LocalVar" instance inst setvariable "LocalOut" instance inst to "FromAS" end tell v

And I posted the JXA access here:

KM8: Local and Instance Variables

I finally worked it out: JXA Script to Get/Set Local & Instance Variables var app = Application.currentApplication() app.includeStandardAdditions = true var kmInst = app.systemAttribute("KMINSTANCE"); var kmeApp = Application("Keyboard Maestro Engine") var myLocalVar = kmeApp.getvariable("Local__MyVar", {instance: kmInst}); kmeApp.setvariable("Local__FromJXA", {instance: kmInst, to: "Set in JXA Script"}) Here's my simple test/demo macro: ###MACRO:   Get Local Variables in JXA Script ~~~ …

I notice that although the Wiki entry might suggest otherwise,

But you're right, the KM Wiki does seem to need updating. I'll add that to my ToDo list.

However, the Wiki does correctly show how to access from JXA here:
