Issue with Group step and Output checkbox

Wappler General Bugs

Hi,

On Server Actions, if you place a Group step (Output checkbox ticked) with a Set Value inside with the Output checkbox unticked, such variable is not accessible outside the Group step on Server Actions.

Is this a bug? I’m using NodeJS

testVar2 doesn’t show in the JSON response, this means testVar2 is null instead of 123 (Output checkbox is ticked)

@Apple This is very old, but wouldn't it be because you didn't define it as global? And this way it was only in the scope of the group?

Hi Alexandre,

I think not, because testGroup is defined in the same scope as testVar2, so everything inside should've been accessible.

Now i see!! You not defined output to this element!

Hm... Yes, correct, but in my thinking it should've been accessible to steps inside the Server Action, just not exposed to the browser :thinking:

(testVar2 has Output checked)

Edit: You may be right, but then this would complicate stuff for me :laughing: Will see what Patrick says

Thats the way it works, the child scope is lost when ending that scope.

To have it available after then define it as global.
