Is there a way to insert variables into the UI?

[TheTechTitanz]

I've tried everything!

I just want to push a variable from botpress to Flowise for a specific URL, and Flowise to look at that URL to feedback some information about the website.

However I've tried heaps of stuff to get this variable to work. I've called the variable myURL, and I've tried doing {{myURL}} @myurl {myURL}, but each time i get that the URL is not valid.

I'm using railway to host, and i've even tried setting variables on railway too, with no avail. Help!!

This is currently not possible, but we can add this feature 👍

Please add it! I beg you. I was trying to figure this out all morning and now I'm lying face down on the floor

Actually you can pass the variable of the url to Flowise API like this:

{
    "question": "How to install Flowise?",
    "overrideConfig": {
        "url": "https://docs.flowiseai.com/getting-started"
    }
}

This will override the existing url you set on the chatflow, and use the one provided in overrideConfig instead

Let me try this! So pass the url variable through api, which overrides the existing url in the UI (so I can just put whatever here if it looks legitimate), and will use the external variable??? Sounds like a good solution to me.

Is this also a valid workaround for #1664 ?

In this case I would need to create the context variable via the "Variables" UI View and then just override it to i.e. use it as a promptValue?

@HenryHengZJ Please take a tiny look at this. It's that little thing thats blocking me form reusing a chaining approach dynamically.
