Hi Kasa,
actionData('actionName') returns an array of key-value pairs. You'd want
to do actionData('actionName')['keyName'] to get the value, and you action
should produce something in java properties format, i.e. "key=value".
I wrote a blog post a while back about using the Shell and Java actions; it
goes through an example workflow and includes capturing data from an action
and using it in a workflow with the actionData El function. If you need
further explanation, I think you will find it useful:
