Download Step doesn't show data pills

Reading this https://docs.workato.com/connectors/sftp/download-file-action.html#input it says
"The file contents will be downloaded in binary mode and can be used in subsequent recipe steps."

When I add a step after Download step, the data pills are not there to use. I added a variable step and used .decode_base64 in a formula. Any steps I add after this step do not show any data pills from the variable step.

I searched in the documents and also looked in the online training but I don't see anything related to how to handle a downloaded file. Seems like such a common problem there must be good documentation somewhere?

Hi @jharrison,

You mean, this specific data pill, as shown in the screenshot is missing or all "data pills"?

Thanks!
Chris

Oh, never mind, I need to (use Parse JSON) ~~pluck the contents~~.
