Chained Apps List Box works using external source in second app but not in the third app

livingja
7 - Meteor

I have three chained apps, the first two run perfectly with one another and include the use of a list box. The third app is made up almost identically to the second app and also includes a list box, but does not display list box results when run with the wizard following the second app's completion. Both list boxes are setup using external source name and value paths. 

 

I am not sure why the method works well for the first two apps, but not the third.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I setup my list boxes for the chained app regarding what the Alteryx community had previously stated about NAME and VALUE and using an external source.

 

Here are screenshots of my workflows:

I'm genuinely confused on how this is this not what I'm doing. Please clarify how mine doesn't match up. I am confused how this isn't the specific part of the IN statement from the filter and in quotes "ROCKET" that I am replacing. How should it be done otherwise? Thanks for the help.

in the action tool - click on expression. make sure the replace string value didn't change. rerun. You have it set up to update the filter mode. that is not what you want.

Alright, thank you for the clarification. I have done that as shown, but still do not get my listbox to populate.

Is there something else I'm missing, or that I didn't understand correctly?

Upload your .yxzp. this is a problem with your action tools/filter tools - I cannot diagnose it more then that with what you've provided. Also - crop your photos to show what you are actually sending in.

I made sure to refresh my connection path for the listbox as well as the interface designer run another app function and it suddenly started to work.

Thank you so much for all of your help. I really appreciate it.
