Basic Analytic App correct in debug but not updating main workflow

Hi all,

 

I'm learning how to use Analytic Apps, and not finding it very intuitive despite watching multiple videos and interactive lessons.

 

I'm doing weekly challenge #57 and find that my workflow may work in debug but the main workflow is not updating. For example in the attached workflow- In Debug the Filter Tool is being updated to show "confectioners" output as True but the default value "florist" is unchanged in the main workflow. 

 

Am I missing a step? (I am hoping to take the Advanced Cert. soon so it's about more than just getting a Challenge correct).

 

Thanks, 

StellaBon

When I run your app, it works. When you use the magic wand to run your workflow as an app, it won't make physical changes to your workflow, so you won't see that it changed the value from "florist" to "confectionaries," but it will run as such.

 

This is the output when I chose "florist"

This is the output when I chose "confectionaries"

@Prometheus Thank you! I didn't realize it only changes in Debug.
