Google Tag Manager Shows Data Layer Variable Values as undefined in the fired tag

Question

I am trying to add dataLayer variable values inside my tag, but when I look at the tag fired inside the Network tab of my console in Chrome, I see that the tag has been populated with undefined values, even though the dataLayer object in console has the right values.

Here is my dataLayer variable in GTM:

This is how I access the value inside the tag:

ORDERID={{ORDERID}}

And this is what I see as dataLayer values in console:

But inside the network tab, I see that the dataLayer variable is undefined:

This is how my Tag Manager's DataLayer in preview mode looks like:

Why?? I am pulling my hair over this now. How can I access dataLayer variable values?
