nodes do not parse input values
In 4 out of 5 cases nodes do not parse input variables correctly. There is a lot of trying out, copying back and forth until suddenly it somehow works. However this is frustrating for me.

If you're experiencing issues with nodes not parsing input variables correctly, it could be due to several factors, such as incorrect variable references or syntax errors. Here are a few steps to ensure you're using input variables correctly:
1. Check Variable References: Ensure that you're referencing variables correctly using the dot operator. For example, if you have an array of objects, you should access properties like
variable[0].propertyName.
2. Node Configuration: Double-check the node configuration to ensure that all required fields are filled out correctly and that you're using the correct variable names.
3. Testing and Debugging: Utilize the testing and debugging features in BuildShip to see the outputs of each node. This can help you identify where the issue might be occurring.
4. Documentation: Refer to the BuildShip documentation for detailed guides on how to use nodes and variables:

@Thomas In the second screenshot, it seems that the selected type of the expression editor is set to
Text instead of JavaScript, ensure that the type is JavaScript to get the expressions with variables work.Solution
