Hey,

please take the time and properly format your message, as this is hard to read. Thanks!

So, the condition only returns true or false, but does not store the result of its calculation somewhere. You can do this either in a transform, or add a field in `ctx.payload` as part of the condition like `ctx.payload.condition_data = [:]`.

hope this helps!
