Using Text Box to modify table header in Table Tool not working.

Question

Hi all,

I am building a macro, which produces tables as outputs. I would like to allow users to rename one of the table fields (originally named Segment) within the Table Tool via a Text Box, however it doesn't seem to work. I have tried the attached two configurations.

Could you give me some feedback on this and some ideas on how to solve?

Thanks!

@U1250058 I have no idea why your method doesn't work, but I do have a workaround. Create an alias with your table tool and then update the alias from the action tool. Sample is attached. Please mark this thread solved if this fits your usecase.

To do this you must first use the rename option in the render tool. enter something there. go back to your action tool. you will now see an alias xml pair - you will have your action tool edit the value in the alias block.
