Invalid Data Format Field Reference

The Invalid Data Format Field Reference analyzer detects when a function instance uses a variable and accesses a field that doesn't exist in the data format of that variable.

For example, if a "Fetch data" step produces a variable DATA linked to a data format with fields name and age, and a later step uses {DATA.address}, this analyzer will flag it, because address doesn't exist on that data format.

How to fix it

Open the flagged function instance and correct the field reference. Make sure the field you're accessing actually exists in the data format. You can check the available fields in your data format settings.

Severity

Major/Bug - accessing a non-existent field will cause your action to fail or return nothing at runtime.
