Hey all,
I’ve been having constant troubles getting data to pass between nodes. I consistently get " [Can’t determine which item to use] " and it’s incredibly frustrating.
There doesn’t seem to be clear feedback in the UI as to why this is happening and it makes no sense about why this item can’t be found. Does anyone else have this issue or am i missing something obvious?
Ok I realise this has something to do with the fact I’m using a code node. However I had to do some serious digging just to work that out.
I see there’s loads of other requests for help in the community with the exact same issue. The N8N team needs to reconsider how the UI works in regarding to passing data through to other nodes.
The expectation is clear - drag an item as context / information into the text box and it consistently places that information there. Regardless of the implications on the backend or how future runs of the workflow could impact the current system - the desired result is not easily achieved!
Could you provide the workflow or a minimal reproduction use case?
By looking at the issue i think the item linking Thread is broken
you can find more documentation about it here:
Those are illegal variable names since it contains a white space character. Try using proper variable naming standards for a start and see if this resolves your problem. Since n8n is based on nodejs which is javascript, you should follow the same naming standards:
