'Same variable output as different types' error

Unknown

I am getting an error "Another Step Outputs X but has declared it as a different type" in my Flow.

What does this mean and how can I resolve this?

This error shows up when multiple steps output the same variable but with different datatypes. This is a Design Validation and your Flow should still run without issue.
As an example, I have initialized a Position variable in my CreateData step with the Int16 type. Further ahead in the Flow, this variable is getting its value changed on the Add step. The Add step returns a Decimal value as its output. So now the flow has the Position variable with two different datatypes: Int16 and Decimal; which is why you are receiving these Validation errors.

These can be resolved by ensuring the Datatype is the same in both steps.
