If there is a requirement that involves creating a variable inside a branch or if/else block, the same variable will not hold the value when used outside of the block.
For example, suppose a rule is triggered when an issue is created. For all the issues with a similar issue description as the trigger issue, a variable is created containing all issue keys. When the same variable is printed outside the branch, it returns no values:
Expected behaviour:
It should return the same value as the variable is used in the same rule.
Current behaviour:
The variable is not accessible - if we try to access the variable, it will return an empty value.
