Hello,  
I have a workflow for identity registration.  
After form is submitted, I retrieve the details and perform a POST API call to create the identity in my defined source. Everything works fine until here, the identity creation included.  
On next step, I defined a search query to use in the Get List of Identities:

The result of this search query is ok - I can see it in the Step Output when testing the workflow:

However, when trying to retrieve the list of identities based on this search query, there is nothing in the Step Output and this messes up my workflow.

If I try the exact same search query in the Search tab, it retrieves the correct identity, but in the GetListOfIdentities step it does not retrieve anything.

Any ideas why this might happen?  
Thank you,

Hi @mihaela_andrei ,

Can you try with below query? instead of “=”

[attributes.personalEmail:"...@test.com](mailto:attributes.personalEmail:%22...@test.com)"

Hi,  
Just tried. It seems to work fine with “:”.  
I also tried again with “=”, and now it works as well (I did not do any other changes).  
Thanks for the response.
