Issue: Path Parameter value required in Run & Debug (Input 'source_id' is required)

Hello Xano Community,

I am facing an issue when testing a custom API endpoint that includes a Path Parameter (e.g., /path/{source_id}).

I have defined source_id as an Input in the API's Function Stack (as shown in the attached image).

The problem is: When I try to run and debug the API in the Run & Debug interface, I consistently receive the following error: { "message": "Input 'source_id' is required" }

Despite providing a value for source_id in its input box within Run & Debug, the error continues to appear.

My questions are:

  1. What is the correct method for entering a Path Parameter value (like source_id) in Xano's Run & Debug interface so that it is properly recognized?

  2. What could be causing the "Input 'source_id' is required" error to persist, even though I am providing the value? Is there a specific setting I should check?

Thank you very much for any help or guidance!
