Command used with act

act -v workflow_dispatch -P self-hosted=my_acr/my_image:latest -p=false -W .github/workflows/cron-check-environment.yml --container-daemon-socket '/Users/username/.colima/default/docker.sock' --container-architecture linux/amd64 --secret-file secrets.yml

Describe issue

When launching origin workflow, the other workflow called with workflow_dispatch detect the provided inputs (passed on the "with" key) but if inputs.value is being called within the child workflow, they're empty.
