@Lucas G Yeah I do have a form that I submit that takes me through multiple pages. I test stuff in Preview mode and not in editor.
Assuming my API returns an id, say book_id, and I want to set this value in session storage in toddle. So in the formula editor for my variable, I choose the API and then click on data and ideally the book_id, as that gets returned.
What I meant was, most of the time it just stops with data and so I'm unable to set the book_id and thus in further steps it gets passed as an object.
I found a workaround of disabling authentication and invoke the form submit through the editor and in such a case I see the book_id under data. So I set it. I then enable authentication and it continues to work.
I'll probably record a loom video, that'd be much easier 😄
