Problems with fetching latest Twitch subscriber.

I have added the built in sub-action for fetching the latest sub on twitch, and I then use the variable %latestSubscriber.userName% (listed in the Wiki) to update a text source, but when I test the trigger it instead outputs "%latestSubscriber.userName%", instead of the name or the latest subscriber.

I have also tried making a global variable for %user% and that does seem to work, but every time I test the trigger it gives me a different username from a list of past subscribers.

I checked the variables through the actions history when testing the trigger with no sub-actions and there was one just called "userName", and that also outputs a random past subscriber once I use that variable.

What confuses me is that nothing like this happens when using the intended arguments when fetching the latest follower. Using %latestFollower.userName% does output the latest follower every time, which makes it easier to update when triggering the sub-action and updating it automatically when I start stream.

I found someone had a similar problem, but this was years ago.

Is using the %user% method the current intended way to fetch the latest sub? Am I using the wrong variable for the built in sub-action?
