Wait, are we sure it has no initial value? Seems risky.

You'd use `Exception.Type` to save it.

I'm sure the "Exception.Type" expression is as intuitive as a Rubik's Cube.

Ah, the joys of exception handling. At least it's not a "NullReferenceException"!

The "Exception.Type" expression should do the trick to capture the current exception type.

Looks like you need to use the "Exception.Type" property to get the current exception type and save it to the "Exception Type" data item.

I practiced a question where we had to save data to a text variable, and I think it was something like "ExceptionType = Exception.Type". Does that sound right?

I'm a bit confused about whether we need to include any specific syntax for the data item. I hope it’s just a straightforward assignment.

I remember a similar question where we had to assign values to data items. I think we might use something like "Exception.Type" in the expression.

I think we need to use the "Exception" system variable to capture the current exception type, but I'm not entirely sure how to reference it correctly.

Piece of cake! I'll just use the expression 'Exception.Type' to save the current exception type. Easy peasy.

I've got an idea - I'll try using the built-in 'Exception.Type' function to get the current exception type and assign it to the 'Exception Type' data item.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Does the 'Exception Type' data item have an initial value or not? That could affect the expression I use.

Okay, so we need to output the current exception type to the 'Exception Type' data item. I think I can use a simple assignment expression for that.
