ArcPro task definition query

Question

I am trying to make a pro project as simple as possible for a user in my organization, so I am creating a task. Is there an easy way to modify a definition query in the task (every time it's the same field/layer, she just changes the number)?  Then could that same number be copied and used to query another layer? It seems like it should be possible but I'm just not finding the solution.

I basically just want her to be able to enter the number, all the selections and zooming is automated, she can verify, and then an automated export Layout to PDF.

Thanks!

Has the capability to apply a definition query been added to ArcGIS Pro Tasks?    My workflow is

* User selects a polygon using the locate tool
* Copy attributes for the case number of the polygon as a variable 'case_num'
* Use case_num in a definition query on the layer that the locate tool was used on

Thanks,
