Iterative Loop inputs fields versus looping back

Question

If I call an iterative macro and pass it 2 parameters (Token and endpointURL) and at the end of the macro before it loops back I provide a single row with the same 2 values (Token and next endpointURL) then why is it telling me the endpointURL is missing on the 2nd iteration?

I dont understand!

In the Interface Designer window (Ctrl + Alt + D) did you set the Iterative Input and Iterative Outputs to the correct Macro Input and Macro Output Tools respectively?

The Iterative Output should be the Macro Output Tool that has the values you want to loop back into the Iterative Input. See attached a simple example that adds 1 to the values each iteration and outputs when the value reaches 10.

You must first set the workflow type to Iterative Macro (Click on the canvas > Workflow tab in Configuration Pane > Set Maco = Iterative maco). See below,

Then in the properties of the interface designer, set which Macro Input and Macro Output you want to be the Iterative input and output.

The field names and types should ideally be the same for your Iterative Input and Iterative Output. Hopefully my attached example can shed some light on this. If you're still having trouble, you may need to share your macro so I can help you further.
