Changing a value for a group of users

Currently I have an application and when I click a button I want it to do a couple things. One thing I can’t seem to figure out is how to change a value for a group of users.

So when I click the button I do a search for users. I receive a list of users. Each of those users has a number data type that I want to subtract from when I click the button. So in this case when I click the button it searches and finds user1 and user2 users 1 and 2 both have data called bet schmeckles. I want to subtract a value from that field by a set amount for both users.

So I go to my workflow and click make a change for a list of users. like shown below.

How do I make it so bet schmeckles = bet schmeckles - amount is basically what I’m asking. Do I do a search for the users again? but then how do I subtract that amount from both fields for the users.

You do exactly that…

i.e.

bet schemckels = This User's bet schmeckels - amount

Yep…

This User in this context refers to each specific User returned in the search (the one that’s being changed).

So any time you need to make a change to a User (or any datatype) based on an existing value of that User (or any other datatype), you can use This to reference the object itself.
