Possible Zapier bug?

Hi everyone,

I’ve faced one issue several times and thought I’d share it with the community to see if it’s a known bug in the system or if I am doing something wrong.

In a zap, the backend value for some mapping is generally denoted by {{numericalNumber_nameOfField}}. This value then gets translated to the real value. 

 

Front-end value is: QW7PS022C0B90


 

Backend value is shown in highlighted portion


Issue here is Zapier should’ve translated the backend value into the frond-end value and my search action would have worked fine. I think it's a bug? if it’s or not - please recommend a solution.

I just realised Zapier displays this “backend” value when there is no data in the mapped field.
