Thanks for tagging me @rubenf.

Answer To set and retrieve user states within a flow in Windmill, you can use the provided TypeScript and Python examples as guidance. For setting a custom flow user state, you can use the following TypeScript and Python code snippets: TypeScript:

import * as wmill from "windmill-client@1.297.0"

export async function main(x: string) {
    await wmill.setFlowUserState("FOO", 42)
    return await wmill.getFlowUserState("FOO")
}

import * as wmill from "windmill-client@1.297.0"

export async function main(x: string) {
    await wmill.setFlowUserState("FOO", 42)
    return await wmill.getFlowUserState("FOO")
}

Python:

import wmill
#extra_requirements:
#wmill==1.297.0

def main(x: str):
    wmill.set_flow_user_state("foobar", 43)
    return wmill.get_flow_user_state("foobar")

import wmill
#extra_requirements:
#wmill==1.297.0

def main(x: str):
    wmill.set_flow_user_state("foobar", 43)
    return wmill.get_flow_user_state("foobar")

(1) These examples demonstrate how to set a value using setFlowUserState and then retrieve it with getFlowUserState within the same flow. These functions allow for the storage of data across steps in a flow, accessible globally within that flow. For more details on how to programmatically interact with flow user states via the Windmill API, please refer to the set flow user state (2) and get flow user state (3) documentation.
