One Sentence Summary

An admin building a flow no longer gets a wrong value passed on when a step asks for an output that an earlier step never reported.

ACs Covered

• In a saved run, an input asking for an output its earlier step did not report gives no value.
• A step's plain recorded value, one saved without an output name, is still given when the input names the step's only declared output or names no output.
• A step declaring no outputs keeps giving its plain value, so saved flows keep working.

Decision Log

Which plain recorded values should an input read under a named output?

A plain value is read only under a step's single declared output or from a step declaring nothing, rather than under any output name.

Should the fix for unreported outputs cover comparisons as well as inputs?

Only inputs change, since comparisons are not given a run or the flow's document and changing them would mean changing what every route receives.

Code Example

Not relevant.

Out of Scope

• Comparisons still read a plain value under any output name, because they are not given a run.
• Inputs in a flow that saves no runs still take a plain value under any output name, because they have no run to look up the step's declared outputs in.
