How to Change the Value of a Workflow Container Element?

This note is published as a supplement to the existing article Changing the Value of a Workflow Container in the "STARTED" Status.

We’re considering a situation where you have a running workflow, and you need to change the value of a container element and then restart the same workflow.

For example, in my workflow, I need to change the value of the element DEMO_ELEMENT, say, to any number from 1 to 9. How can this operation be performed?

To solve this, launch transaction SWIA.

The following video clip shows the sequence of actions you need to follow to change the value of a workflow container element.

The value of the DEMO_ELEMENT was changed to "5". If you restart the workflow while still in transaction SWIA, the modified container value will remain unchanged.
