Alteryx check box & select tool

[georeuben]

Hi everyone, 

I have a workflow which has a select tool and is connected to a drop down tool. The container with the drop down tool will be enabled/disabled based on a checkbox condition. When the container is enabled, I have no problem running the workflow. But when the container is disabled, the WF won't run, and breaks at the Select tool with the error "XXX" not present in the input. I think that the rename in the Select tool is not renamed with container disabled. But when I do a test using the debug tool, it doesn't detect any error. Any help on what i'm missing or how to resolve this?

Hi @georeuben ,

You have interface tools in a container. If you switch this off the workflow will fail as you cannot have these tools in disabled containers.

Hey, but the main workflow with the select tool is outside of the container. Shouldn't the main workflow run even with disabled containers? The container is used to select fields within the select tool. I thought if its disabled, the main workflow would still work normally, just that the analytic app wont give the option to select fields?

@georeuben ,

I can't see your macro, you would need to provide it so I can have a look.

However, if there are any interface tools in a container that gets switched off, for any reason, the workflow will error.
