6.4.1.1 Cloning or Creating Variables from Existing Variables

To create a new variable from an existing variable, perform the following:

1. Login to STSA.
2. In the Workspace Summary, Sandbox tab, select the required workspace.
3. Click Building Blocks and then click View in the Variables section.
   The Variables Summary page is displayed.
4. To replicate and modify an existing variable with minor changes, select an existing variable, click More Actions and then click Copy.
5. Provide a name and update the definition and click Next.
6. Review the changes and click Save.
7. To submit the variable for review, click Submit for Review.
   For more information about sending objects for review and approval, see the Workflow for STSA Objects section.

   Note:

   When you are trying to create a new variable that has the same variable sub-type and metadata of an existing variable, then the system detects this and provides a notification about the creation of a duplicate variable. However, you can still continue with creation of this new variable by clicking yes in the confirmation screen.
