Is this a bug? MERGE node test doesn't function after IF node

Describe the problem/error/question

This is similar to an old post [BUG] Merge node doesn't wait for both inputs

When IF node is used in front of MERGE, the flow still works, but the “test step” function doesn’t give output

What is the error message (if any)?


Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

Hey @rxunique

Yes and no. This only happens in editor mode, as it wants all branches to resolve. In production mode, this isn’t a problem.

Try adding just one more “edit fields” node and it should be fine.
