In my Qlik automation, I’m using the "Get Variable" block to retrieve a variable from an app using the App ID and Variable ID. Occasionally, the block behaves unexpectedly:
It returns a null value instead of the expected 0 or 1 ,which causes issues in subsequent automation steps.
This happens randomly, and when I manually run the automation again, it works fine.
Question:
Is there a way to fix this issue permanently? Or any workaround to ensure the "Get Variable" block always fetches the correct value (0 or 1) and doesn't pass with a null value??

Thanks in advance for your help!
The issue with the "Get Variable" block returning a null value could be due to timing or a race condition in your automation. To resolve this, try adding a delay or a retry mechanism before fetching the variable.
