I have an input control with a button that triggers a workflow. The payload sent to the workflow is specified as

```json
{
  "deviceIdConfig": "{{ctx.currentDevice}}",
  "reportRate": "{{reportRate}}"
}

```

reportRate is a slider input, and ctx.currentDevice is a Device ID context variable. When I look at the debug message of the incoming request in the workflow after the button is pressed, “deviceIdConfig” is always the default value specified for ctx.currentDevice. I know the context variable is updating properly in the dashboard because I’m using it for other widgets that are updating properly, and it shows up in the URL as a query parameter. I changed the default device ID just to make sure I hadn’t accidentally hard-coded it somewhere, and I got the same behaviour (the button sent the default ID specified for the context variable).
