Analytic App: Text Box not updating Text Input

Question

I have a workflow that is used to check multiple inputs with multiple items against a dataset.  The workflow has three Text Inputs where the user can enter any number of codes to be checked.  My workflow runs fine as a Standard Workflow, but I want to turn it into an analytic app and run it from the Gallery.  I have tried many configurations to but have failed to get this to work.  I've attached a sample of my latest try.  I know I could use a File Browse tool, but would prefer that the user not need to create files for the input data.  Also, I do not want to use a Drop Down because the lists would be too long.  Any ideas?

Thanks, Patrick.  Your solution does exactly what I wanted.

@liztarnold I think the attached should get you started. The text input will just have one row, and the action tool is putting the text box into that row. The user will enter 1 item per line, so we can use the newline character in the text to columns to split the data out into 1 row per item. Then a select tool to change it back to a number if the users are only entering numbers.

@liztarnold - another approach attached using the List Box. User can check off what they want. You can populate the List Box tool with all possible codes, or just the ones that are in the input as shown in the attached.
