Custom variables#
Custom variables allow you to create custom values that can be used in the Code node by all users in their pathways.
During pathway execution:
* a custom variable added to pathway nodes are replaced by the custom value as a string
* if the custom variable is null, it is treated as undefined so that pathways do not immediately fail
