The Drive Constant Value task is used to dynamically update values that Constants have. This is an actionable change, therefore you can base events on the changing of the Constant so that they happen at a specific time. For example, upon clicking a macro that runs the Drive Constant Value task you can trigger other elements of UI to be displayed.
This task has different types of Outputs. For more information about Outputs see Specification Macros Task Node.
