My current approach consists of two parts which was very tedious to debug and also I needed to install some new packages which is why the results could never be submitted. <br>\nUsing two notebooks in a pipeline seems to be very streamlined now and for me it worked out of the box. All you have to do is add data -&gt; notebook output files and then the other notebook's working folder should be available in your input files.</p>",
