Another thing to notice is only second operator is running. It is not taking the value from first operator

For example,

1. If second operator is “Trim” → Output: `""`
2. If second operator is “Concat” and variable B is “test” → Output: `"test"`

Essentially, the second operator is not able to do operations on first variable, i.e, Variable A .
