Card Block Internal Value for Dynamic Data

Reproduction 1. Set some variables that are arrays of strings, such as teamsIds, teamsNames and teamsCities 2. Connect a Card block, with dynamic data: {{teamsNames}} as its Title, {{teamsCities}} as its Description, and an arbitrary string for the button such as Check Team Matches 3. Try to put {{teamsIds}} as the Card's Internal value 4. Preview the bot Desired behavior I want the internal value of a selected card to be dynamic — in this case the ID associated with the team from the teamsIds array. Sample data: const teamsIds = [12, 4] const teamNames = ["Hawks", "Celtics"] const teamsCities = ["Atlanta", "Boston"] When the user clicks on the Card with Celtics as its Title, I want the internal value of the selected card to be its associated ID in teamsIds, which is 4 in this case. That internal value (selected card) should also be saved in a variable selectedTeam. Suspected issue Internal value seems to only work as expected when the data isn't dynamic and that the internal value is a fixed string, regardless of which option we selected. The Save in variable option only allows to save a specific field from the card (like "Title", "Description" etc.) and not its internal value (which defeats the purpose of an internal value aside from solely displaying it to the user?). ↓ In the following example, I set the arrays variables with a Script block that simulates the API call I'll make in production (which you get a peek at below it), with setVariable() lines. I confirm that the variables are created and with the expected data, as the cards are successfully dynamically generated from them.

Bot preview TL;DR: clicking on "Check matches" should set a selectedTeam variable to the ID of the selected team.
