Homey friends,

Sometimes a shared flow shows variable names as questionmarks instead of their actual name.  
I can’t find a pattern yet, because it’s not with every card type / var type.  
Anyone else experience this?

I mailed [support@athom.com](mailto:support@athom.com) also about this.

Example:
