Renaming Columns from UI in Filter Tool

andrewc22

I am having trouble running my workflow through a filter tool when I run it as an analytic app.

When I regularly run my workflow, the filter tools all execute and the output looks great. I need to do the same thing as this, but dynamically rename the column names to whatever the user inputs for both instances.

when the user renames the instance names, the data will not run through the filter tool. I have an action tool set up before the filter to update the value, but it still will not work.

Any suggestions? I have attached this section of my workflow below

Hi @andrewc22 ,

I'm not sure what you mean. You can't change the name of the columns in a filter tool. Do you mean you are trying to change the field on which the filter is being applied?

If so, you can click on your action tool and select the "Field - Value" in the "Simple" section. This will then change the field selector:

If this is not what you mean can you please post your workflow and some mock data so we can help?
