I have a Github Actions workflow and need to set the project environment conditionally so as to not duplicate code in multiple jobs. I have a simple logic to determine the branch then I am trying to set the output so the other jobs can use it. The output is not being passed through to the next job as the Deploy step is showing blank at the beginning of my planning job.

jobs:
  set-env:
    runs-on: #
    outputs:
      output_plan: ${{ steps.plan.outputs.env_plan }}
      output_apply: ${{ steps.plan.outputs.env_apply }}
    steps:
      - name: Set environment based on branch
        id: env
        run: |
          if [ ${{ github.ref }} != 'refs/heads/main' ]; then
            echo "IS NOT main branch"
            echo "env_plan=dev-default-plan" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
            echo "env_apply=dev-default-apply" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
          else
            echo "IS main branch"
            echo "env_plan=prod-default-plan" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
            echo "env_apply=prod-default-apply" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
          fi
            - name: Debug Outputs
        run: |
          echo "env_plan=${{ steps.env.outputs.env_plan }}"
          echo "env_apply=${{ steps.env.outputs.env_apply }}"

    

  terragrunt-plan:
    if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
    needs: [set-env]
    permissions:
      id-token: write
      contents: read
    name: 'Terragrunt Plan'
    environment: ${{ needs.set-env.outputs.output_plan }}
    env:
      AWSRoleARN: ${{ vars.AWS_ROLE_ARN }}
      AWSRegion: ${{ vars.AWS_REGION }}
      WHAT_ENV: ${{ needs.set-env.outputs.output_plan }}
      
    runs-on: #
    steps:
      - name: Deploy
        run: echo "Deploying to ${{ env.WHAT_ENV }} environment"

I’ve tried using Env variables to pass it alone but no luck there. Is this possible?
