ST-USG-009 - Unused Variables
Rule ID: ST-USG-009
Scope: Workflow
Description
The rule checks whether there are variables defined in the file or project, but unused.
Recommendation
Remove variables that are not used. Workflows should only have variables that are necessary for its execution. Unused variables make the project more difficult to understand and should be removed. For removing all unused variables, use the button "Remove Unused Variables" in the ribbon, as shown here.
