Splitout node does not always returns data correct?

I use the Split Out node to separate a single data item containing a list into multiple items. For example, a list of SERP data, and I want to split them so that you have an item with all the “people_also_ask_element.” (json: Unique Download Link | WeTransfer)

I have added “tasks[0].result[0].items[2].items” in the “fields to split out” field but the results seems to be then in tasks[0].result[0].items[2].items and the other time in tasks[0].result[0].items[1].items

So if “tasks[0].result[0].items[2].items” works greate while testing. When clicking the clicking the “test workflow” button the test stops at the split out node telling me “The field ‘tasks[0].result[0].items[2].items’ wasn’t found in any input item”

How can I do it differently so it works?

Your original WeTransfer link has expired. Could you add the workflow source to your post with a separate 3-back-tick line before and after? Like this:

```
{ workflow json here }
```
