Is there standard functionality that allows you to create an xml file of selected data?
I have a function that returns an xml variable.
This variable contains all the text that I need.
Is there an easy way to put that in an xml file and give it back to the user so that he/he can store it locally??

Hey,
If you can capture the XML data in a variable, you can also use that data in a Download file process action. This will prompt the user to download the XML data as a file with a name of your/their choice. This is similar to how the Export model task works in the Software Factory.
That particular process flow part looks like this:

Thanks a lot.
Creating a varbinary variable, and passing that to the download functionality worked very well.
The only thing I need to tackle is that the browser (chrome) likes to open the file content directly into the browser window. (which actually is not desired for this)
However, I think that has to do with the browser itself since if I change the extension, the browser provides me with a download popup form.
+23In the Download file process action, you can specify whether Universal should force the download of the file rather than previewing it.
However, as of now the parameter is not supported. But you can already set it up. In an upcoming version of the Universal GUI, the setting will be respected and the file will be a download: 2025.1 | Thinkwise Documentation
