This variable shows up in the variable selector side panel. But when I click on it, it shows up on the right as an error saying “Not Found”. This is happening with all of the input data variables, but not with other variables
If you run it, does it still resolve to undefined (not found)? or does it resolve to the right value?
It’s strange… it actually does run correctly. but even after running it still says “[not found]”
Are you still having the issue?
Yes. The workflow works but it looks like it’s broken for some reason
No can sadly not explain that right now. Can you share a workflow with some mock data which allows us to reproduce that @timconnorz as I am not able to do that.
I created the following test workflow but it works as expected:
Here’s an example. If you go to the sendgrid node and try to set one of the values as a reference to the input data from IF node, it says “not found”

Ah yes, sorry. That is sadly a known issue. Currently do expressions in the Editor only resolve values correctly from the first output of a node. As you have the node connected to the second output (“false” of the IF-Node) does it sadly not get displayed correctly right now.
A temporary workaround is to add another node in between like a NoOp-Node.
Ok thanks jan!
strange, i’ve also just noticed this issue in one of my flows
