# COPYDATA

## Overview

The **COPYDATA** workflow application is used to copy data from a parameter to a different data.

## How it works

All parameters are optional, and parameter names can be set by the process designer. To copy a data from one to another, the only action required is to set the default value as the data to copy and set the data into which you want to retrieve it (as long as the data type is compatible). The parameters’ directions must be INOUT. There is no limit to the number of parameters.
