On the JS connector output schema the output is named "output", but in your code the output is named "updatedInput". They need to match.

@Patel0786 Is there any reason for not directly using formulas when mapping your Salesforce search results into a list, even if the JS code is working properly? We usually recommend using code (via JS, Ruby, or Python connectors) as a last resort to implement specific solutions that can't be covered using a Low-Code/No-Code approach, or when code can be significantly more efficient in terms of tasks or execution time. Apparently, neither of these situations applies to your use case. A Low-Code/No-Code approach speeds up development and facilitates the subsequent maintenance of recipes. That's why we always say this should be the ideal approach when possible.
