Nested Logic in Automations are not Passing data through

Hey all

I have been losing my mind over the last 5 hours.

I have a trigger when a record matches conditions to see if some fields are not empty.

Then I have a conditional logic step that checks to see what data is in those fields and then execute if they are true.

If it does execute, I find a bunch of records. And then I run a nested Repeat for each using the list from the find records step.

In the repeat loop, I am going to create a new record. But...none of the data from teh current item is getting passed into the create records step.

The weird thing is the preview shows there is data coming in...but the create record step, or a script step because I tried that too, is just not getting the data from the Current Item.

Here is my automation


Here you can see the data from the Current Item
 

 

Here you can see the preview



But then I run the create step and that data is NOT getting to the create step. Manual data goes in like the Date below but trying to pass through the FTE value to the create record action is not happening.

I also used a script to confirm that there is no data coming in from the Current Item even if the preview says there is.
 


Clearing I am doing something wrong here but I am at a loss for what.

Anyone got ideas?

First off, thank you very much for providing all the screenshots! 

Any chance you could duplicate your base, put a bit of example data in it, and then provide an invite link?  Your setup looks fine so I’d like to poke at it to see what I can help you figure out!

As a datapoint, I’m able to get the select options created using a repeating group within a conditional fine and I’ve set it up here for you to refer to

Hey ​@mbrinkley,

This is strange. I’m sure we can probably figure this out in a 5 min call. Feel free to grab a slot using this link. I think that will be faster :D

Have you tried this with a live test, or is this all from preview? I had this issue once and my problem was that the later steps were using data from a previous trigger which didn’t have those fields filled out. Without running it live (or atleast run as configured), the bottom actions may not get renewed data from the new trigger.
