Change the parameter of several filters at the same time

Hi all,

 

Is there any alternative to change the parameter of all these filters at the same time? I'm using the same parameter for all the filters, but when I'm going to change it I have to do it manually, going to each filter and change it. Alteryx.png

Hey @bersocha,

There is a few options to solve this. One way is to create a workflow variable in the workflow configuration:

You can then reference this in your filters:

This means you will only need to change it in one place.

From your flow it looks like you're adding this functionality by building a macro or app. If that's the case, you can update all at once, just like you would a singular update. The only difference is you add multiple action tools and hook them up as so:

Another option would be to create a macro and pass the filter conditions to it:
