Variable Creation

Create Domo card variables (interactive controls) and output curl commands or CLI commands to execute them.

Variables are user-adjustable values that feed into Beast Mode formulas, enabling dynamic what-if analysis. They appear as dropdown, pill, slider, textbox, or date picker controls on cards and dashboards.

When to Use This Skill

• User asks for a dropdown, slider, or interactive control on a card
• User mentions "variable", "parameter", or describes wanting dynamic/adjustable values
• A card needs what-if analysis or user-selectable inputs
• You're building a card and realize a beast mode needs a user-controlled input

Core Workflow — 3-Step Creation

Variable creation requires three sequential API calls. All three are mandatory — skipping the middle step causes a 400 error on the card save.
