I am using GitHub Issue form to capture few inputs from User. Once form is submitted, I am using JSON parser to retrieve the form inputs.
When I run echo ${{ steps.parser.outputs.json }}, I am able to view the JSON output (displayed below). However, I have 3 inputs that I would like to pass as an environment variable for next job.
My current issue is, when I run Test step, I can view JSON for $SOURCE_BRANCH (Which matches with the output of the code, this not not what I am looking for).
I would like to pass values for each Keys as an environment variable for next action. Is there any actions in Marketplace or any easier approach to solve the issue?

You need to extract the json values and assign each value:
- name: Output Issue JSON
id: output-issue
run: |
echo ${{ steps.parser.outputs.json }}
# Set environment variables
echo "SOURCE_BRANCH=$(echo '${{ steps.parser.outputs.json }}' | jq -r '.source_branch')" >> $GITHUB_ENV
echo "TARGET_BRANCH=$(echo '${{ steps.parser.outputs.json }}' | jq -r '.target_branch')" >> $GITHUB_ENV
echo "FOLDERS=$(echo '${{ steps.parser.outputs.json }}' | jq -r '.folders_double_quoted_comma_separated_within')" >> $GITHUB_ENV
