Merge and Split Assign Features in OutSystems Service Studio

OutSystems Senior Developer Meria Bejoy shares a quick tip to make your flows more organised: use the Merge and Split Assign features in Service Studio. These tools let you instantly combine or separate assign statements, keeping your logic clean and easy to manage. They’re available for client, server, and service actions.

Steps to Merge Assign Nodes

Consolidate multiple assign nodes into one:

1. Select the assign nodes you want to merge.
   
2. Right-click on one of them.
   
3. Choose “Merge Assigns.

This combines all selected nodes into a single assign node with multiple statements.

Steps to Split an Assign Node

Break down a single assign node into multiple nodes:

1. Select the node to split.
   
   
2. Click the statement where you want the split to start.
   
3. Right-click and choose “Split All Below Into New Assign.”
   
4. This creates a new assign node for all statements below the selected one.

Why Use These Features?

• Organised Flows: Cleaner, easier-to-read logic.
• Quick Execution: Merging or splitting takes seconds.
• Universal Use: Works across client, server, and service actions.
