Be aware, that reusing a variable is currently broken. Look at this example. I changed from an API request block to an HTTP request block. I wanted to reduce my effort and reused the var_api_response (green arrow).
Unfortunately despite it appearing to be connected to the variable in the third block (red arrows show blue highlighted variable), both variables were not “connected” anymore. You will need to remove them and re-add them with the same name. It looks exactly as before, but its now working as expected.
