This document covers the usage of Getter Setter Activities in UiPath, its features and benefits.The Getter Setter Activity is very similar to the “GET SET” properties we use in other programming language like C# and Java. The only difference here is all the properties which we declare inside the code is public and can be accessible at any location inside the project.The Getter Setter Activity supports all types of data in UiPath. You just need to declare the variable once and it can be used anywhere in the project. The benefit of this activity over arguments can be understood with the help of following example:<ul><li>Suppose the project flow is like Page1 -&gt; Page2 -&gt; Page3. If we want to use the variable “V1” declared on page1 to page3, then we have to use arguments both on page2 and page3 to pass the variable value to page3 from page1. The same can be achieved with the help of getter setter without passing the value in the form of argument to another page. You declare the variable on page1 keep it in setter and fetch the value wherever required using getter.</li></ul>

Hi Manoj , I am just wondering what prompted you to create this custom activity.Was there any business scenario where you were finding it cumbersome to use arguments? Minal

This seems to be a great component because I am trying to create a reusable component with a scope activity. I want to create a variable that can pass across all activities in the component.

So how exactly do I use these two activities? Set and Get? Can you provide a sample?

You said: "You declare the variable on page1 keep it in setter and fetch the value wherever required using getter." 

So I declared the variable on page1 with a set activity. But how do I fetch the value in another xaml file?

Hello, This component is very interesting. But it don't seem i can use with a stopwatch variable for example. I have put the correct type of variable but it don't work. The value is always 0. Is this activity can be operational on this type of variable ? Thanks

I tried using this component. When i tried creating varable(String datatype) in set component and run the xaml file, i am getting error - 

Message: A value of type 'System.ArgumentNullException' cannot be set to the location with name 'ErrorDescription' because it is a location of type 'System.String'.

Exception Type: System.InvalidOperationException

 - What a thought behind building this useful component. :)
I used this component and found no issues, no trouble and easily usable. The best part of this component to avoid argument passing among the workflows and doing so most of the time the developers left the args which are not using in further workflows but they pass in arg list. In terms of latency I got the variable result in no time. 
Great work visible in this component. Applaud...


 - I tried to pass value to a custom build library. And reversely get value from a library to workflow. But this did not worked for me in UI Path Version 2019.11 


Please fix the bug. Or if I used it in wrong way  ? please provide proper documentation 


 - @Tech Guru, can you please share the xaml file of your workflow and the type of argument you are using


 - Thank you for sharing this activity. that's helpful in my current projects 


 - Amazing activity..we are using it in many artifacts.


 - Thanks for sharing this amazing component.It is very useful and make the automation very easy.


Great Job. I was searching for some global variable activity for my project and solution is here... Thanks, Manoj!
