AMP engine: Anchor was not closed

Question

Hi!

When saving the workflow on desktop I got the error: Anchor was not closed (please find the error attached), but it runs in the gallery without error. What could be the reason?

Just some details on the workflow: My workflow consists of 2 macros, I need only one macro to be run by AMP engine, that's why I have AMP cheked for the macro and for the workflow ( not for the second macro).

Thank you in advance!

2. GENG-3381: Macros that contain a control container and a nested macro with a relative path causes error

2023.2.1.89 (Patch 2) January 25, 2024

Hi @RexLi10, I'm afraid there is no option other than to wait for a release that fixes this issue. It may be fixed with the next release of Alteryx Designer, so I would suggest that you wait for the version 2024.1 to use the control containers without any issues. The same issue occurs with the version 2023.2.1.51 (23.2 Patch 1) and I think it wouldn't be any different with 2023.2.1.89 (Patch 2) as there are no release notes regarding nested disabled control containers for Patch 2 either.

Official reply below, please ignore my reply.

EnthusiasmAYX. In my workflow, I have some nested control containers under the parent control container. And in some situation, some nested containers need to be disable. And I can't delete the nested container as I need them to set the sequence for the workflow. May I know if there is another alternative solution that I can solve this issue without delete the control container and allow nested container to be disable? Many thanks.
