About dkuGetProjectVariables function in R API
![aya](https://us.v-cdn.net/6038231/uploads/Dataiku/nAvatar11.png)
Hi,
What is ”variables” at dkuGetProjectVariables function in R API?
I try this function at my code,but I can't get any infomation.
# I'm hoping to get infomation of project or dataset name in project.
https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/api/8.0/R/dataiku/reference/dkuGetProjectVariables.html
dkuGetProjectVariables() $standard $local
Is there something wrong with it?
Best regards,
Aya Yoshizawa

Hello,
Do you mean dynamic variables used in project ?
Ex: Syntax for R : var_prj <- dkuCustomVariable("projectKey")
In R recipie (or python), you can refresh dynamic variables used by clicking on 'validate' button and select variables available there :

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I didn't understand project variable well. I thought it was an element such as a dataset.
I could get return value after I setted project variable.
Can I get the dataset information in my project from the R API like project variables? -
