Change in Trimmed behavior during Set Variable action?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 91

I have a flow that populates a field from a variable, this flow hadn't been touched for months, but I recently updated PAD.  This step broke and I could see that the string variable value was passed from previous steps correctly, but onscreen, during the final "Populate text field" action,  a trailing "1" character was missing from the passed value.  

 

Immediately before that, I used "Set Variable" to populate that value from an Input variable with ".Trimmed" applied.  On a hunch I removed the ".Trimmed" modifier from the Set Variable action and the flow started working again.  

 

Something changed, but I don't know if it's the way .Trimmed behaves or something else in this flow's environment.

 

If nothing else, it's a thing to watch out for if you see a trailing numeric value (Especially a 1) getting clipped off while passing variables. A special "off by one" problem?
