Chat Script Does Not Forward to Correct Queue Despite Correct Variable Input
Symptom
When the script has a Test Variable item with a user-defined condition (example: _department), users will be requested to input certain information, that, if matching the condition, will determine what queue the transaction will be routed to. Routing to the correct queue doesn't happen, despite users responding with words or phrases that match the condition set by the variable.
