If I setup a Monitor Files trigger and try to use local variables in place of the Folder and File Mask fields then the job just doesn't pick up new files.

If I use actual values in these fields the monitor detects the changes immediately.

Is this a known issue or am I doing it wrong?

Local task variables do not work in any trigger.
Local variables live only when the task is performed.

If you need to use variables in trigger you have to use global variables only or set parameters explicitly.
