I’m having some trouble getting custom actions to work with deck swiper. I want to add contextual information from the current card to my API request, but the magic text shows ‘Nothing Available’.  
Is this a bug/limitation, or am I doing something wrong?

My detailed use-case:  
I want to send a POST API call using the title and description of the current card when the user clicks on it. To do so, I want to be able to add this contextual information to the request JSON body.

You have to add that item first in order to be able to use it. See in the top right of your screenshot “Add Item”. Then you can map those items to your current card data.
