Issue in automation Collect Data / steps.n.success fails

[esellier]

The Collect Data "fails" when trying to get the result of a previous step.
The handle bar is ok I think {{ steps.6.success }}, and it runs fine in the builder when I test the automation, but fails in published app. All other previous steps before 6 are also OK.

I serialiized steps in backend log.
And there are two null values between step 5 and 6. So the steps.6 resolves to null.
So far I guess it is probably because in step 4 there is Delete Row, inside a loop, but if the loop has no iteration (empty array) as the previous query in Step 4 returns [], so there maybe null values for the loop and another null for the delete?? (just a guess...).

BUDI-8167 Issue in automation Collect Data / steps.n.success fails

Hi @esellier - this is likely due to the empty loop.

Have you tried renaming your steps and referencing them directly using the new step format, {{ stepName.property }}

[esellier]

Tried to rename steps.
The steps after the loop do not appear in the Bindings list (see screenshot).
And step 5 does not have the correct name in list.
