In Genesys Cloud CX Scripting, once a variable has been created and assigned a data type, you cannot modify its data type later. This design is intentional to prevent errors that might occur if a variable's type were changed after it was already in use. Variables in Genesys Cloud CX scripting are strongly typed, meaning the type of data they hold is fixed upon their creation.
To change the type of a variable, you would need to create a new variable with the desired type and then use that instead. This ensures that the script's logic remains consistent and avoids runtime errors that could arise from unexpected data types.
This behavior is consistent with best practices in many scripting environments where strict typing is enforced to maintain stability and predictability in scripts.
For more details on variable handling in Genesys Cloud CX, you can refer to Genesys Cloud CX Scripting documentation that explicitly states these constraints to help developers write more reliable and error-free scripts.
