Lock is not released when lock name is passed through internal action and it is concated with input.

name: Feature Pull Requests and merged PR.
concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true
on:

  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  Test-run-lock:

     steps:
      - name: Checkout source code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Create a lock.
        uses: ./.github/actions/extra-middle-action
        with:
          lock-key-name: lurbanski6

extra-middle-action/action.yaml

name: extra-middle-action
description: test
inputs:
  lock-key-name:
    required: false
    description: Lock key name.
    default: ${{ github.workflow }}

runs:
  using: composite
  steps:
    - name: Create a lock.
      uses: ./.github/actions/create-lock-action
      with:
        lock-key-name: prefix-${{ inputs.lock-key-name }} #doesn't work
       # lock-key-name: ${{ inputs.lock-key-name }} #It works. Without prefix/suffix
        # lock-key-name: "prefix-${{ inputs.lock-key-name }}" # I tried with single quote, double and concating prefix with lock-key-name using https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#setting-an-environment-variable. All solutions doesn't work.

        

create-lock-action/action.yaml

name: Create a lock
description: Create a lock. 
inputs:
  lock-key-name:
    required: false
    description: Lock key name.
    default: ${{ github.workflow }}

runs:
  using: composite
  steps:
# aws-actions/configure-aws-credentials@v1 etc

    - name: Create a lock
      uses: abatilo/github-action-locks@v1
      with:
        timeout: "30"
        table: "iam_runners_lock"
        key: "LockID"
        name: 'RepositoryPrefix-${{ inputs.lock-key-name }}'

If there is prefix or suffix in the extra-middle-action. The lock is not released. btw, the lock name in logs looks ok.

Update: After testing my conclusions are that.

1. It works when extra-middle-action only passes ${{ inputs.lock-key-name }} without changes.
2. It doesn't work when extra-middle-action only passes plain string e.g. "123" or concat string with input e.g. "prefix-${{ inputs.lock-key-name }}"
