Issue type: Bug report

My Rundeck detail

• Rundeck version: 2.10.1-1
• install type: rpm
• OS Name/version: CentOS 7.4.1708
• DB Type/version: mysql

Expected Behavior

• When I pass key-value variable to Workflow Step Job Reference via argument - the value should be replaced by captured key-value data.
  example argument in job reference: -LoginPass ${data.LoginPass}

How to Reproduce

• Problem: When I am passing key-value variable to Workflow Step Job Reference via argument - the value isn't being replaced by captured key-value data, only when I using Node Step Job Reference the value is being replaced.

@snifbr can you provide your job definition

[snifbr]

Sure @ahonor.

JobDefinition.yaml: https://gist.github.com/snifbr/69965ba6f7e57dc1e396829b826b2344

since the first step is a script executing on a Node, the value is captured in the node's context.

you can either use the node name ${data.LoginPass@mynode} or since you are not dispatching the job and it would only execute on one node, you can use the * expansion to collect all node values (in this case only one): ${data.LoginPass*}

does that work for you?

Thanks @gschueler, now this work perfectly!

Then sorry, is only my fault, not a bug.

If someone can asnwer, just more one question ->

• Is there a better documentation about data passing than this "https://github.com/rundeck/rundeck/issues/2577"?

[gschueler]

@snifbr i will add an issue to improve documentation
