Stuck in course 2 workflow 2 merge

[therealJMT]

I am currtenly stuck here

Workflow 2 | n8n Docs

for some reason I don’t get a match

@therealJMT Turn off fields have different names, as you are matching on customerID on both.

[therealJMT]

thanks for your reply unfortunately that was just a try

[JayF]

Have you tried running the entire workflow from scratch again?

[JayF]

Or press the ‘play’ button on your Merge node to make sure both branches are executed

[therealJMT]

yeah I even re entered my n8n instance from incognito mode and started from scratch the only thing I could do is restart my docker instance, which is currently not possible because my ssh key is on another machine

[JayF]

I just tested it and it worked fine:

[therealJMT]

my customerID was a F*ing string and not a number !!! Thanks for sticking with me, that was an ugly bug

[JayF]

ah, glad you caught it!

Hi @therealJMT

Those things suck. But luckily there is an extra option in the merge node that allows you to match strings and numbers.
