Configuration Panel Showing Incorrect Field Values Compared to Browse Tool

Question

Hi all,

I’m seeing a mismatch between the Browse tool and the Configuration panel in my workflow. The Browse tool shows the correct field values, but the Configuration panel displays incorrect data for the same field (example below).

Browse tool (right) shows correct values, Configuration panel (left) shows incorrect summary.

The dataset is around 245 MB, so it’s under the 300 MB profiling limit, and there are no errors shown when I run the workflow. I recently switched to a new laptop, so I’m wondering if that could be related.

Has anyone experienced this before or have suggestions on what to check?

Thanks in advance!

As stated in the help file "In other words, 300 MB of record size is not the same as 300 MB of file size."

The 245 may become much more larger than 245M which is the file size I believe, which is compressed much already.
