    Is it possible to set the %PATH% environment variable on a per job basis?

    This is the error that I get when my tasks run trying to set PATH through the C# API.

    Error from node: NODE1:Exception 'Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'Path'  Key being added: 'PATH'' reported creating the task.

    A specific program requires a directory in PATH, but I don't want to set it globally for all users and applications that run.

    To specify env var at job level, you can switch to "Environment Variables" page and add an item when you create a new job in GUI.

    This is also supported in CLI & API.

    I'm using csharp for programmatic submission.

    The method SetEnvironmentVariable() works for all variables but %PATH%

    Can you check whether you're using the scheduler job api to set the environment variable? As it will work just fine if I set env for Path for the job in the Job submission job GUI.
