'Unable to use jsonpath function for output parameter in Argo Workflows

I've one workflow in which I'm using jsonpath function for a output parameter to extract a specific value from json string, but it is failing with this error Error (exit code 255)

Here is my workflow

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Workflow
metadata:
  generateName: wf-dev-
spec:
  entrypoint: main
  templates:
    - name: main

      dag:
        tasks:
          - name: dev-create
            templateRef:
              name: dev-create-wft
              template: main
            arguments:
              parameters:
                - name: param1
                  value: "val1"

          - name: dev-outputs
            depends: dev-create.Succeeded
            templateRef:
              name: dev-outputs-wft
              template: main
            arguments:
              parameters:
                - name: devoutputs
                  value: "{{=jsonpath(tasks.dev-create.outputs.parameters.devoutputs, '$.alias.value')}}"

In the above workflow task dev-create invokes another workflowTemplate dev-create-wft which returns the output of another workflowTemplate

Here is my workflowTemplate

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: WorkflowTemplate
metadata:
  name: dev-create-wft

spec:
  entrypoint: main
  templates:
    - name: main
      outputs:
        parameters:
          - name: devoutputs
            valueFrom:
               expression: "tasks['dev1'].outputs.parameters.devoutputs"
      inputs:
        parameters:
          - name: param1
      dag:
        tasks:
          - name: dev1
            templateRef:
              name: fnl-dev
              template: main
            arguments:
              parameters:
                - name: param1
                  value: "{{inputs.parameters.param1}}"

The returned json output looks like this

{
    "alias": {
        "value": "testing:dev1infra",
        "type": "string",
        "sensitive": false
    },
    "match": {
        "value": "dev1infra-testing",
        "type": "string",
        "sensitive": false
    }
}

Does jsonpath function supported in workflow? The reason why am asking is, it's working when I used the same function in another workflowTemplate dev-outputs-wft

What could be the issue?
