Action Tools not Updating Tools within a Control Containers

mattjacobs

I have a batch macro that passes values created in a workflow via a Formula Tool.  When this workflow run with the tools in the macro in a Control Container, the Action Tools have no effect on the query which is inside a Connect In-DB tool.  The macro has multiple Control Containers to control the sequence that the multiple queries run.  I tested the macro by taking one of the queries out of the Control Container and all updates where made.

 

So, I have these questions:

1. Is there some sort of explicit prohibition to Action Tools updating tools inside a Control Container?

2. Does some else also seen this and have a way to make this work?

Ah OK, so I may just need to use a work around for now, but may be can get back to this once my org gets an updated version.  Thank you.  May I ask what your version you are on, and maybe I can press my org to get there faster?
