Script step output variable value not passing to custom action output variable in Flow Designer

[VullankiL]

Hi,

I have an issue. In flow designer, there is a script step in one custom action, where there is output variable called "object_value" (type object). And I am populating it in script step using outputs.object_value. After populating it, I have converted it into text value using JSON.stringify() and tried to print it in logs using gs.error(), then the key-value pairs are getting printed correctly.

So later, I am passing it to the custom action Output Variable called "objectValue" (type object).  Now after publishing this custom action. If I try to access this object in flow designer (outside of the custom action) using Log statements. Then the object is getting printed like [Object object], but if I use JSON.stringify() method and print it.. it is just returning empty "{}" without any key-value pairs. Even if I try to access keys and values using methods like Object.keys(object_value), but it is still returning nothing.

Please help me with this.

Did you check what output that Action gave?

very difficult to help with limited details.

@Ankur Bawiskar ,
The custom action is returning "object" as output, I don't know whether it is Object (with key-values pairs) or Object (without key-value pairs). That's why I have added log statement to stringify() and check whether data is there or not in the object, but it is returning just "{}" as mentioned in above screenshot. the object also returning as mentioned in above screenshot in logs. 

But in the script step of the custom action. If I add stringify() method and print it, then it is showing all key-value pairs.
But Outside the custom action, in flow log statement it is just showing {}.

@VullankiL 

are you returning JSON from your custom action?
If yes then simply use this logic to check if the object is empty or not

try this

obj.toString().equals("{}");

@Ankur Bawiskar, I am returning "Object" from custom action with type "object" (not json). And If I use JSON.stringify(object_value), it is showing {} only.

I don't know why it is missing. please help me with this

Thank you,

Also, the Object.keys(object_value).length is retuning 0

Thank you
