Iterator not picking up values from before Iterator

[aoris]

Hello team,
I am working with a workflow that receives a data set that I am formatting into various rows. I use Iterator to get through a json array (page visits). The iteration process goes fine with the different values (2 records, 2 sets of values, 2 rows in MySQL).

The issue I have is with data not going through the iteration, common to each row: it only gets written in the first record of the iteration, not the next ones. If I relate to the help video of the Iterator (11:18), it's as if I get all the data in the first record. And then the subsequent records only get the iterated values (Name, Id, Quantity, Amount), not the order number. I just don't understand where the error can come from. Any idea? -> the workflow.

Edit: same issue with Google Docs (used as test).

Thanks in advance,
Mickael

Hey @aoris

Kindly make the data directly from the Iterator action step instead of the JSON extractor action step, since the JSON extractor doesn't require any more.

Thanks @Supreme .

That is strange: I have 1 workflow that works using data from before the Iterator, and 1 workflow that does not work using data from before the workflow.

Also, I do not understand the workflow would stop accessing data variables from before the Iterator. Kind of defeats the point of workflow, doesn't it?

Hey @aoris

We couldn't find the workflow in which you have faced such an error. So, can you please share the workflow once?

Hey @Supreme !

The workflow is the one mentioned above (the workflow) but I had to remove steps and use a second workflow to move on with the work (basically I resent the data to a second workflow to continue with the process).

I have just added a pair of tasks to run the Iterator and then write out a mix of data points from both before and within the Iterator. Those are page visits. The G doc is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/16wiR_XhQHZqsPScabwscwM1cA7IWGZK6tBGibfowhjg/edit?usp=sharing (view only, no confidential/personal data).

Hey @aoris

As we can see from your workflows tasks history Id, it appears that the action step is not getting the data label that should come from the Iterator action step.

So, please check your task history ID once whether you are getting the mapped data from the Iterator action step or not.

Well, the new workflow is working fine, so I guess that we can close the conversation. I must have introduced a glitch in the data selection or something at the time. Thanks for looking into the matter!
