Workflow input variables

Community Support

Does temporal support referencing context via variables in the workflow input? i.e., if I want to reference information about the current execution in the input payload like

${workflow.RunId}
${workflow.Context.SomeContextValue}

I got some AI responses on this but I haven’t found anything in the documentation.

Not sure I understand the question. You can get workflow info like workflow and runid with workflow api in your workflow code, is that the question? Which sdk do you use?

I mean, in the UI for Scheduled workflows when you definen the input payload is there a way to utilize pre-defined variables about the execution context, e.g.

{
   "myvar": "someval-${workflow.RunId}",
}

Don’t think this is possible. What’s the use case so if we want to create feature request can describe need for it.
