Since about 10/5/2023 6:00:00 PM (UTC), INPUT() is no more working when using it in a Bot. Instead of setting the INPUT() value, the Bot will just delete it!

The problem is not the INPUT() expression. Because when I fire the Action directly in the App, it is working fine. It seems that the Bot cannot read the INPUT() value anymore.
If I use a hardcoded value instead of INPUT(), the Bot works fine.

That’s a BIG problem, because the Bot deleted many values!
I’ve sent also a Ticket to AppSheet support. Case-ID 2-6589000035126

This is the Action that is fired from the Bot

And this is the expression in the Referenced Action:

IFS(ISBLANK([KD …1]),INPUT(“Start”,“”))

This was working for many months.

I have the same issue with INPUT() in one of my bots. This was working fine earlier in the week, but is now not passing the value through to the action. So the INPUT() in the referenced action is using the default.

Similarly here, we cannot find issues on our side. Appsheet team, please investigate. It was all good!
