```from prefect.variables import Variable
Variable.get("answer")  ```

Just worked for me. I set a variable named `answer` in the UI for the workspace I’m connected to.


```from prefect.variables import Variable

var = Variable.get("answer")  # answer is a variable set in the UI or code
print(var)

# prints 42```

Okay got it, assigning to another variable and then printing that. I'll try it again

Pushed example of getting and setting in 106 to the GitHub repo.

Umm, I am getting this : Hello, {&lt;coroutine object sync_compatible.&lt;locals&gt;.coroutine_wrapper.&lt;locals&gt;.ctx_call at 0x10917ff10&gt;} !

Below is my code:
```import asyncio
from prefect import flow, pause_flow_run
from prefect.input import RunInput
from prefect.variables import Variable

class UserNameInput(RunInput):
    name: str


@flow(log_prints=True)
async def greet_user():
    user_input = await pause_flow_run(
        wait_for_input=UserNameInput.with_initial_data(name="anonymous")
    )
    user_name_1 = Variable.get("user_name_1")
    if user_input.name == "anonymous":
        print("Hello,",{user_name_1}, "!")
    else:
        print(f"Hello, {user_input.name}!")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("hi\n")
    user_name_1 = Variable.get("user_name_1")
    asyncio.run(greet_user())```

You might need to pass `user_name_1` into `greet_user` and adjust `greet_user` to take that parameter.
Then the value should be available in your function.
