I can't interpolate output of a variable from step of job1 to a step of job2.

[obscuredotsh]

I am trying to interpolate the variable "PushedImageID" from job1 to job2 but it prints a blank value on the job2. This is my code snippet.
I have read documents and several stackoverflow answers but none of them seem to work.

What am I missing here?

    name: job1
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: PreHookActions
    outputs:
      PushedImageID: ${{ steps.build-image.outputs.PushedImageID }}    
    steps:
      - name: Cache code directory
        uses: actions/cache@v3
        with:
          path: ./
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-source-${{ github.sha }}
          restore-keys: |
            ${{ runner.os }}-source-

        with:

          aws-secret-access-key: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
          aws-region: ${{ env.AWS_REGION }}

      - name: Login to Amazon ECR

      - name: Build, tag, and push image to Amazon ECR
        id: build-image
        env:
          ACCOUNT_ID: ${{ env.ACCOUNT_ID }}
          AWS_REGION: ${{ env.AWS_REGION }}
          ECR_REPOSITORY: ${{ env.ECR_REPOSITORY }}
          ECS_SERVICE: ${{ env.ECS_SERVICE }}
          ECS_CLUSTER: ${{ env.ECS_CLUSTER }}
          ECS_TASK_DEFINITION: ${{ env.ECS_TASK_DEFINITION }}

          PYTHON_FILE_NAME: ${{ env.PYTHON_FILE_NAME }}
          ECR_REGISTRY: ${{ steps.login-ecr.outputs.registry }}
          IMAGE_TAG: ${{ github.sha }}
        run: |
          docker build -t $ECR_REGISTRY/$ECR_REPOSITORY:$IMAGE_TAG .
          docker push $ECR_REGISTRY/$ECR_REPOSITORY:$IMAGE_TAG
          echo "PushedImageID=$ECR_REGISTRY/$ECR_REPOSITORY:$IMAGE_TAG"
          echo "PushedImageID=$ECR_REGISTRY/$ECR_REPOSITORY:$IMAGE_TAG" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"

  job2:
    name: job2
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: job1

    steps:
      - name: Print Image Variable
        run: |
          echo ${{ needs.job1.outputs.PushedImageID }}```

This is the output log on job2:

while on job1:

echo "PushedImageID=$ECR_REGISTRY/$ECR_REPOSITORY:$IMAGE_TAG"

I can read the correct output:
