Multiple components affected - Data Type matching issue?

[JCUK89]

Hi there,

Today, I came across an issue - I am struggling to understand what happened, I hope you can help me identify & rectify this.

Suddenly, screen flows that utilise some of the FlowScreenComponentsBasePack components stopped working. This includes Quick Choice and Flow Button bar. These flows also utilise datatable also stopped working This happened in a Sandbox whilst I was working on a screen flow.

FlowScreenComponentsBasePack - version 2.5.9 FlowActionsBasePack - version 2.33 Datatable - 3.3.2

Output variables from the screen components such as .value no longer display as a string variable - the below examples are from a decision node:

This is what it looked like before:

This is what it looks like now:

I use outputs from the variables in a lot of decision and assignments steps and the issue described above has stopped all flows with those components from working. This includes presently active versions as well as previous versions and it prevents saving & activating of new versions.

This is screenshot is taken from a presently active version.

The error is displayed just before transition to the next screen.

This is a an example of error preventing activation of a new version

Additional Info

I use an existing screen flow in production that has a datatable and it still works.

Interestingly, the flows function via Debug.

I created a new sandbox from production and deployed the screen flows from the affected sandbox and they all work as expected.
