Shopify Flow: Run Code does not understand Math.random()

jack_ · ‎09-23-2024

In Shopify Flow, when using the action node 'Run Code' (used to run JavaScript), if I try to generate a random float with Math.random(), for some reason it always returns the same float on every single attempt: 0.8549251903236059

Is this a known issue?
