There’s this strange thing that all of a sudden does not work.
I am. using the set variable module and it’s pulling and reformatting the date like I want it to. However when I try to pull it down the road, it shows up empty. I tried the ‘get variable’ module before and the same problem persists. It was working for a bit until I added another route.
And then when I go back to diagnose, the variable that I’m pulling turns white in color, as if it’s invalid.
Very strange. Screenshots and other materials below.
It might be something to do with using a “variable” as a variable name.
Variable names work best as a static name like “Start Date”
Referencing variables creates a static name reference in Make, so modules downstream will expect the variable names to stay the same.
eg.
Date: Feb 6
Set Variable Name - Feb06
Reference Variable name - “Summary//Feb06”
Everything should work
Next Date
Date: Feb07
Set Variable Name - Feb07
Reference Variable name - “Summary//Feb06”
Error - Summary//Feb06 no longer exists
Make will still look for Feb06 because that was the original reference.
There are ways you can make the referencing dynamic as well - but not recommended as it complicates matters.
Does the variable name need to be {{1. Start}} ? or can it just be a fixed value?
