Hey Asana Community, is there any documentation on how this variable field works? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/4X/7/c/9/7c959a8fb20f37a6978be63ed187fa0ed88fe4e6.png) So far in task titles and task descriptions it just says “No Value” Just trying to determine how this fits in potential workflows! ---

Regarding the trigger date, I believe it will be this for now.
