it is part of this workflow :

> [@Clickup - find task](http://community.n8n.io/t/clickup-find-task/262538/3):
>
> These are my tasks: I used this filter I’m returning nothing, is this related to the other issues I’ve been having where basically I’m getting nothing in every single test I do? is it due to the fact that this is called by another workflow? But I do have mock data at key points yet it is not working

is it impossible to test a single step if it is a sub task ?
