&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;store a Map, as Mathieu mentioned&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;store your value in a JSON dictionary (so a PV of type &amp;quot;Text&amp;quot;), and have the task form translate it to/from JSON as needed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to create an Any Type variable in a process model</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/143736?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Dec 2024 12:24:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:1fea5869-b210-4f87-9c71-ce09d6f58adc</guid><dc:creator>Stefan Helzle</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You can use the data attribute if a datasubset to store ANY data in a process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to create an Any Type variable in a process model</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/143723?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 17 Dec 2024 11:18:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:e6d1b22c-3192-4abd-ba7a-88df93bddd7c</guid><dc:creator>Mathieu Drouin</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You can&amp;#39;t.&lt;/p&gt;
