Dynamic Text Variable Creator

Create a multi-line string variable. This provides the ability to include dynamic variable references that will be automatically populated at execution time.

variables are identified in the string by wrapping with $${var-name}$$ and are then replaced dynamically

A list of current flow variables and additional date-time variables are supplied in a drop down and can be added using copy/paste

The component can create single-line or multi-line strings, and additionally, for single-line strings can also output a Path variable version (local paths only).
