I have this Shortcut which queries a Notion database, then fetches the IDs and titles of pages from the database and turns them into key : value pairs.

I want to add those key : value pairs to the dictionary shown at the top of the screenshot. The problem is, even though I can see that I'm adding to the dictionary inside the Repeat With Each Item loop -

When I check the contents of my Categories dictionary at the end of the Shortcut, those entries haven't been saved.

I have seen

I'd be very grateful for any pointers here.

I don't know why that works but it does ¯\(ツ)/¯
