Action tool is not updating data range value

Hi all,

I have a simple analytic app that reads dates from input file. Using action tool I'm passing Start and End date to filter the datasets. But it seems action tool is not updating value in filter tool and as result there is no output. I don't know what am i missing here?

Thank you.

Please use "Custom filter" at Filter tool.

When you use "Simple filter", the Action tool doesn't show the overwrite stuff correctly.

Hi @tanja90 ,

The configuration seems fine to me. Can you make sure that you have configured your app to show the results of the browse tool, once the app runs successfully?

You can do that though your interface designer, in the cog-like icon where you should have the Browse tool checkbox checked as shown below.

The simple filter works fine for me @AkimasaKajitani

Are you aware that this is the case in a particular Designer version? There might be a bug we can report.

Hi @AngelosPachis, @AkimasaKajitani ,

Thank you a lot and i'll accept both answers as solution.

In this example @AngelosPachis you were right, i didn't configure browser tool so i wasn't able to see results.

But your answer @AkimasaKajitani helped me with a another workflow , and changing to Custom filter helped.

Cheers!
