Hi Amit,

I guess this would do the trick for you, the below plugin provides you with functions to store data temporarily.

Text Cache

Hope this helps.

The text cache plugin might work for you, depending on your use case. It can store a maximum of 10k items and will not survive a restart of the system. So you better not rely on any data stored there. This is why it is called "cache".

An Appian process instance stores data in memory, you do not have to persist to the DB and the data will be removed from your process reports when the process instance is archived or deleted.  This may work for your use case?

Otherwise, how short of a time period?  How much data?  What do you intend to do with the data while it is 'stored temporarily'?

This 200% depends on what you mean by "short", which is a very subjective term and you don't really specify.
