I tried, but the problem is that it does not happen every time. If I try to do a simple flow for testing with only one text input node, it works and the value is sent whenever I change focus (click outside the field, for instance).

When I test it on the whole thing, sometimes it will work fine, but mostly doesn't. It is very strange.
