"Loop step won't validate even though 'Values to Loop' is configured—how do I troubleshoot this?"
I'm building a Zap that:
- Captures meeting transcripts from Plaud
- Uses AI by Zapier with
isOutputArray: trueto extract multiple action items as an array - Uses Looping by Zapier to iterate through each action item
- Creates a ClickUp task for each item in the loop
The problem: The Loop step is configured with:
- Left field:
action_item - Right field:
{{_GEN_1786693645305__result__items[]}}
But when I try to test or publish, I get: "Error: Required field 'Values to Loop' (loop_values) is missing."
The field is clearly set, and the AI step is returning an array of objects. Has anyone encountered this? Is there a specific format the loop_values field needs, or could this be a validation bug?
