Merge Node version 3.2 doesn't append the items

[n3ndor]

Describe the problem/error/question

The newest merge node version 3.2 doesn’t merge the items, I used the append 2 inputs and I get 2 outputs.

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

Share the output returned by the last node

hey Solomon, thanks for your reply.
I already updated the workflow but I can send a print screen how it was.
There is a workflow to check for the rows if it’s existing, if yes update other wise check for contact person if exists. If cooperation and person doesn’t exists, create it and at the end merge all together.
at the end both path are 100 identic when they meet again at the merge node “get together”.
And you can see the code node got 2 outputs, because of the 2 outputs from merge node. You already saw the print screen previously.

OH NO!
I Just realized what was the problem! There was no second merge node for contacts !

AHHHHHH I’M so sorry, there is no bug. thank you for your time and patience

@solomon is there any solution to solve the problem when one of the branches doesn’t input data?
In your example if dataset A doesn’t have any data to output, does makes the Merge node to wait and will not continue the workflow. It stuck without any error.
Because if you take a better look in my workflow, I think that’s why I used set node after the Contacts…

If there’s no data on one branch, the merge won’t wait indefinitely. If one branch is full and the other is empty, the merge in append mode will definitely continue its path.
