Getting input data in Edit Mode (Execute Workflow Trigger)

[Bret_Truchan]

I have a very simple question. When I’m viewing executions, I see healthy and valuable input data information. But when I’m in Edit Mode, I’m struggling to populate the input data:

When I click on Execute previous nodes, it says that it ran the previous nodes successfully, but no data appears. Any suggestions?

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

I think that I figured this out. When viewing an execution, there’s a button in the top-right labeled “Debug in editor”:

This will pin the input to the Execute Workflow Trigger. At that point, you can click on Test workflow from the Editor (not the Executions) to run it, which will hydrate all of the inputs. Just don’t forget to unpin the data once you’re done troubleshooting.
