Batch macro video - "Control parameter must be mapped to a field"

When I load the solution to the "Build Your First Batch Macro" video, delete the macro and re-insert the macro, I get the error "The Control Parameter (10) must be mapped to a field"

Can anyone tell me why the solution posted by Joe does not work? I am running 2019.2,5.62427.

Thanks!

Hey @Newt, When placing a macro (or other tool for that matter) the metadata isn't always going to auto-configure. After placing the macro on the canvas and connecting to the text input tool, select the macro and reconfigure, selecting the "Store" field in both drop downs in the "Group By" tab as well as the drop down on the "Questions" tab.

In this instance, the control parameter is labeled "Choose Field: Choose Batch", so it won't automatically seek out the field "Store" - but FYI - if you have a control parameter labeled "Store", it should pick up the "Store" field.
