Output Format does not except input_variables

[maviedmtech]

When I tried to set an input variable to the output_format field, they are not recognized as input fields. The specific use case:

• I want the LLM to return a markdown list with k bullet points. I cannot set at the moment.

Hey @maviedmtech Thank you for your message. Indeed thats an issue. I faced the same problem allready myself. The output format prompt element is treated a little bit differently than the other elements (they use partial variables and not the standard input variables) . Workaround: You are not forced to name the output prompt element "output_format". If you name it for example just "output" its treated as a system message and the input variable will work as expected. But i will also work on a solution to support input variables for the standard "output_format" element
