Action Event Trigger not showing Event data in Trigger Workflow Formula

    In my custom action I have a trigger event that sends data, I’ve tested it, console logged it and it works.

    However in my event trigger workflow formula, it’s not displaying the data that it sends in the trigger. Since I can’t access it and drill down to the data within the object the best I can do is set the whole object to a variable and then try and do something with it from there.

    In my screenshots you can see that the formula is showing the data as null, but after going into the preview and testing you can clearly see it sets the variable with the data.

    Any ideas why this is happening?

    I’ve even set example output data in the custom action believing that it may utilise that as “dummy data” when creating the formula, but even this isn’t showing?

    For events we cant show the data In the formula editor ( since the even hasnt happened yet)
    Instead we show placeholder data

    The placeholder data isn’t showing for me either @Andreas Møller it’s what I meant by setting the example output data. Even that isn’t showing for me.
