Expression activity

Use an expression activity to permit the user to perform operations on data. These can be single arithmetic operations, such as add, multiply, subtract, or string manipulation such as Trim, Uppercase, and Date functions such as add months, or get today's date.

An expression node reduces the amount of custom .NET code or scripting needed by providing the most commonly used functions used for data manipulation.

You can set the value of one or more variables using free text, variables, operators, and functions.

An Expression node supports the Bool (Boolean), Byte, Currency, Date, Decimal, Double, Float, Long, Nullable Date, Nullable String, Short, String, and Entity Attributes (simple types) variables. It does not support the Checklist, Complex, Dynamic Complex, XML, XML Expression, and System variables.
