XDM not updated after Updating Schema?

[MichaelJo13]

I'm just learning the SDK. I added the Analytics Field group to my schema. The issue is when in Tags, in a rule, when I'm trying to use the SDK "Update Variable" action type, I don't see any of the new fields in the XDM Variable Editor. Do I have to create a new data set first before I see the change to the XDM? Why isn't the XDM updating? 

Thanks!

Hi @MichaelJo13 

This seems to be an cache issue try checking it in incognito mode.

However before using update variable action in the rule you also have to create a data element with variable type pointing towards the sandbox where you have created your schema(make sure you've selected the correct one).

Yes, I did all that. Thank you for the answer!

@MichaelJo13Can you confirm have done with below steps.

0) Create a xdm template(here you are defining the common variables.)

1) Creating the xdm variable as below.

2) Creating the data variable and should select Adobe analytics check box.

3) Merge the above variable by leveraging core-merged objects.

4) In the rule select variable which you created in the step-1 and update the required variable(eVar/Prop)

5) In the final step make sure this in XDM you should have selected merged data element which is created in step 3.

Follow these steps and let me know if it solve your problem.
