I was wondering if it was possible to make a variable 'global' so that I could re-use it in another workflow?

Hi,

no, for now it is not possible. However there is a way to do it, for example:

save the content of your "global" variable in a text file (using a script or data export for example) and in any workflow (at start, during the process or at end) you can read/update it using a simple script.
Just for info you can check this for read/write text file:

Best regards,

Luca

Thanks again Luca. I had tried writing the value to a text file but my scripting prowess let me down trying to read it back in. I'll try again.
