Product enhancement request to just display the ID and name of a Folder when "Folder" is the type of the PV?

Yes, you'll have to edit the running process instance to first add a new process variable of type number integer, and then add a new script task that will save tointeger(pv!folder) into the new pv. Then re-run a node in the process such that the new script task is evaluated, and you should now have the folder id.

So I create a script task in the running process instance and run that to get my answer?

Is the process variable for the folder of type "Folder" or "Document or Folder"? If so, tointeger(pv!folder) will return the folder ID.
