I have a value(a sum generated from other values) that I'd like to pass. The record itself has 2 fields, a "status" and a "count" field. I want to pass the count field into a lookup node because I have some calculations to do in multiple lookups. The field to be passed is generated from a previous step.

Currently I'm using a static data node and typing the value in, but how can I programmatically do this? I'd like to eliminate typing this value in repeatedly because future changes(which will happen) would require me to go back through all copies of the static data node to update the value, which leaves room for error.

I'm a bit confused as to what you want to do.

My suggestion is to add a Duplicate Detection node to your graph and then OPEN the node. You'll see inside how a count is generated and then added back to the main data stream.

Most likely, that method is what you are looking for, but I'd use a lookup instead of a Join.
