This works perfectly

(I spend half a day more to understand why my SC didn’t work anymore)
(I had the same kind of trouble with Insert step but don’t remember exactly and can’t report it… sorry)

Thanks

#2

Have you tried putting the expression in brackets? That often fixes these kind of things!

#3

Thanks Antony;
I did and it works, my SC is already working.
Maybe it’ld interesting to fix this kind of behaviors.

#4

If you are using valid variable names that do not contain spaces, special charters or starts with number, you should need to enclose them in brackets. And if you do - just use Wappler’s data picker for all the e press ions and it will correctly enclose them for you if needed.
