Text box tool doesn't update filter value in analytical app

Dear Alteryx Community,

I am reaching out after researching on this topic but not able to resolve my issue.

To simplify the question a bit more and avoid disclosing sensitive data, I'm building an app that would allow the user to key in an ID number and see the results related to this specific ID. I have set up the regular workflow (with ID_001 in place) and it works fine. However, when I tried to run it as an app with a different ID number (ID_002), I am still seeing data related to the original filter value in the workflow (ID_001). I suspected that I might have too much data but cutting it down to <100 rows still didn't help. Would really appreciate your help on this!

Hi @hning003

I made a slight adjustment to the Action Tool, and it seems to be working for me.

Let me know if this works for you.

I think your app is working:

To test it you need to use the run as app icon not the Run button:

Hi wwatson,

Thanks for your quick response. I have tried to run the app the way you suggested as well as just clicking on the app, but my output file did not change at all. Any thoughts?

@JustinBabbitt thanks this actually worked!

Do you mind also explain what's the difference between updating an expression vs oprands and best practices on the choice?
