AsOfDate and EffectiveDate Not Passing As Variables to IPA From Exit Rule ActionRequest

I have a UserForm with a button that triggers an action when pressed.

If I develop the button to trigger an Update RequestAction inline, an implicit action form displays. We've configured the implicit_action_form to prepopulate completed. No additional action is required by the user, except for clicking "Submit" on the implicit_action_form that appears.

In this workflow, the IPA works as expected and all variables are being passed over in the work unit.

If I change the form button to trigger a different action that invokes the UpdateRequest action above as part of an Exit Rule, the IPA triggers but the AsOfDate and EffectiveDate variables are missing from the work unit. What could be the cause for this? Is it because the implicit_action_form isn't populating with the effective_date prepopulated?

I believe something about the action being invoked in the exit rule as opposed to the user executing the action using the implicit action form on the front end was causing the issue. I was able to pass the variables over when I explicitly assigned the WorkAssignment_effective_date in the exit rules and added it to the Update RequestAction as a parameter.
