Flow Designer Variable Issue – Need Help with Data Type Behavior

Hi, 

I’m working in Flow Designer and noticed something strange with variable data types. When I try to pass data between actions, the output variable doesn’t always match the expected type (for example, an array or reference type doesn’t populate correctly).

Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a specific configuration or mapping I should check to make sure the data flows correctly between actions?

Any insights or examples would be really helpful. Thanks in advance! 🙏
