Error using Functions with Input and Output variables
I am using this function to shorten a particular variable. When using the function test preview it is working perfectly, but when executing the flow it isn't actually showing the same. Can't really find the error.

Does the input data have double-qoutes?

I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to, but it's kind of like you shed some light, and while trying to debug it I discovered that it's entering the function with a space at the end. I still don't know why, but it's resolved if I match it in the same way.

this is the only way it worked:
@bamelement another case of there being a trailing space.
@nicofrank1 do you have a space in the input var within the function step?

Oh yes, it is that. It was truly invisible to the eyes.

If I press enter to automatically fill the variable, that space is added.
Yep. That is the default within VF.
You should just add a .trim() to the input vars. we always do that on all our input text vars in all our functions.
