Fixed Random Variable

Hi, I've been trying to do something with no success.
I have at the start of a task a {NUMBER} variable set with {RandomValue(23)}, what that does is everytime I use {NUMBER} in next steps of the task the integer changes to a new random number.
Is there a way I can run only once {RandomValue(23)} and assign it to a variable that I'll be using several times later in the same task, with the same random number assigned at the start?
Thanks

Pay attention to this option (look at screenshot below)
- ExpandNow.png (12.12 KiB) Viewed 9327 times
If it is ON then the action calculates the value and save the
result into variable
If it is OFF then the action
saves specified string as-it-is. So you get different values in different steps, because RoboTask calculates the value every time when you use this variable.
Also look at my two examples. These examples demonstrates this option.
1-st example. You get new value every time
Code: Select all
