Flows: Setting values from a SC call's data doesn't work on first run

OS info

• Operating System : Mac OSX 19.0.0
• Wappler Version : 2.6.1

Problem description

Pretty weird stuff.

So I’ve got this flow.

The flow is called when an input changes its value.

And this is the result:

I changed the value of the input twice.

First time var1 variables do not evaluate -> undefined
The modal which is shown in between var1 and var1_copy evaluation has a binding in it’s text.

As you can see it’s the same expression as the one evaluated for var1 and var1_copy. However the variables will evaluate on the second run, but showing the result of the SC from the first run.

Steps to reproduce

1. See above.

I see that somehow your variables have wrong paths.

As var1 is just directly under sc1 it should assign value like: sc1.data.hits

and not prefix it with the whole flow path.

Same is for var1_copy

Btw nice tip to use now as timing function

Also make sure you are using the last App Connect 1.9.1

As we show now the flow debug info only after you enter in devtools:

dmx.debug = true

I will do some further tests.

It’s the picker who’s setting the path. It’s picking the full one.

Thanks for the dmx.debug tip

[JonL]

I confirm it works now. Thanks George.
This goes to my notes

Is this default behavior of the data picker? Will it pick the full path if it’s not able to distinguish where I am calling it from?

I will investigate the picker - it has to do how the flow is nested on your page.
