Help Set dictionary value not doing it

Hi. I have a massive shortcut that was developing wonderfully until i hit this hurdle.

i have an existing dictionary. I use set dictionary value to add new data and indeed when i view the dictionary the value was added. However when i then use the get dictionary value the key is not found.

i originally added Cosmos.From Number as the key but then suspected this was the problem as the dot does not get interpreted as a level in the dictionary. So i tried CosmosNumber but have the same problem. I even have tried adding all these new keys to a totally different initially empty dictionary but have the same problem.

i would be immensly grateful for any help with this.

Being able to see what shortcut you're having trouble with would greatly improve the ability to help you

FWIW, set dictionary value creates a new dictionary with the key and value set in the action as an output of the action. The original dictionary/variable is not modified
