Custom query, results not passing through to next stage

Wappler Version : 5.2.1
Operating System : win 11
Server Model: node
Database Type: SQLite
Hosting Type: wappler node local

Expected behavior

What do you think should happen?

results from custom query should be accessible at other stages of API action

Actual behavior

What actually happens?

Results from query are not accessible in later stages

While i can see the output in the picker and select it, the value is not actually passed making it unusable
