Can I use virtual attributes in a replace all microflow action?

3

Can I use virtual attributes in a 'replace all' microflow action? E.g. I have someone's 'business info' which is a virtual attribute based on 'adress, zipcode, city and country'. Can I use this virtual attribute in the 'replace all' or do I need to create a variable in this microflow?

Yes, you can use virtual attributes in microflow expressions.

Be aware that each time you look at a virtual attribute its microflow will be executed. If you are using the value of the attribute many times (for the same object) it is more efficient to create a variable that stores the result. However, this is only valid if the value of the attribute doesn't change during the actions you are performing.
