Hello Shubham,

If I put isProcessing=true and startProcess(calling AI Skill) in same saveInto block:

isProcessing will not show up as True until the startProcess is finished processing ( by the that time the processing is done).

I've found that saveInto executes as a single block. It does not update interface until the entire block is finished.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Stefan, thanks for the idea. Here is what I ran into:

I need two events to happen in following sequence:
step 1: isProcessing is marked as true (allowing user to see a processing indicator on screen).
step 2: AI skill is called (via processModel), which generates process variables that I am reading back into interface.

aSyncVariable solution: I can get aSyncvariable to run, when isProcessing is updated, but for the value of the variable, it does not like me to run a process. Is there another way to run a process using aSyncVariable as trigger?

Yes possible. Use the text field's saveInto to set isProcessing = true and kick off the AI via a process model with a!startProcess.
Note: a saveInto allows only one smart service, so use a process model if you need multiple backend steps.

I think this should work using a!asyncVariable. This way, you can declare a local variable and make it evaluation react on entering text, or pushing the button.

Give it a try. It might need a bit of tinkering, but should work.
