I am new to using Argo Workflows. I have written down a sample workflow for demo purposes. Below is the attached workflow YAML in which I am facing this issue in the last step. The last step sayHello is erroring out with exit status 2 and the logs show up the error to be :

The result input to the sayHello template must be passed explicitly from the third step of the main template.

steps.addTenToResult.outputs.result has no meaning in the sayHello template definition. Variables starting with steps. only have meaning in steps templates (i.e. templates with the steps field populated, like in main).
