I have a dashboard dropdown setting a flow variable (name) and I am using it to set the email address for a notification. It works the first time it sends an email, after that my name variable clears out (in the context menu) and I get a send failed message in my flow. How can I set the variable and have it stay there until the next name is selected from the dashboard dropdown.
I removed the emails and email node properties from the code below.
