I have a simple SQL task that returns a date time stamp. I'm trying to use it to filter the next task, an S3 download task.


The {TASK(PrevTask|StdOut)} value does not work. However, if I change this to the direct task id of the SQL task:

{TASK(7527153c-2352-4be7-b09a-0469b95574fc|StdOut)}

Then the filter works properly.

Have you tried running the job/task with the PrevTask variable? Does that work or still won't return the output?

Correct, the PrevTask variable does not work. Only the direct task id works.

PrevTask|StdOut returns a blank string. Direct Task ID|StdOut correctly returns the date time string.

Hi,

Apologies for the late response. Can you provide us with the exact string/output value the prevtask returns? Preferrably send an email to support@visualcron.com with it
