Do workflow variables in SailPoint require the (input="true") attribute?

In SailPoint, workflow variables do not require the (input="true") attribute for execution. The input attribute is primarily used for documentation purposes, helping developers and users understand the variable's intended use within the workflow. This attribute indicates that a variable is designed to be supplied with an input value when the workflow is executed, which can aid in clarity when reviewing or modifying workflow configurations.

However, it is possible to use workflow variables without this attribute, and they can still function effectively within the workflow process. In essence, while marking a variable as input can enhance documentation and clarity, it is not a prerequisite for the variable's execution in the workflow. Therefore, the correct understanding is that the absence of the (input="true") attribute does not hinder the functionality of workflow variables.
