but when I run it from the Apple Watch it asks me to choose the Global variable manually.
Can you try writing the variable name in a Text
action and then passing that as the key?
The Actions app does not run natively on watchOS, so in this case, I assume Shortcuts is running the shortcut remotely on your iPhone. So any problems with that is a problem with Shortcuts.
Thank you for the reply!

Not sure what you mean, but I was already doing this

Thank you for the explanation, eventually I worked around it and just duplicated some shortcuts instead of using a global variable.
Feel free to close the issue if there is nothing you can do about it.

Description
Hi there, thank you for the great work!
I run into an issue with the recent Global Variables (great feature by the way!).
When I run a shortcut that makes use of
Get global text variable
(or get any global variable) it works great on macOS and iPhone but when I run it from the Apple Watch it asks me to choose the Global variable manually.Is this intended behaviour or a bug? Is it some kind of limitation of the WatchOS has?
It is inconvenient because I was using the Global var as way to pass information between shortcuts in a more easy way than created some nested Dictionaries, etc..
Hope this helps to improve the Actions app, cheers!
macOS/iOS version
macOS Ventura 13.2 / iOS 16.3.1 / watchOS 9.3.1
