Control container: Internal Error - Anchor was not closed

[RexLi10]

Hi All,

My workflow has several nested control containers within a parent control container. In particular situation, user need to disable some nested control containers. In 2023.1.1.123 version, this process works normal, however, if my workflow run in 2023.2.1.51 or above version. The workflow crashed and pop-up an error message: "Control container: Internal Error - Anchor was not closed." I found another post in Alteryx community that described same issue. And the solution is to remove nested control container or ensure all nested control container is enabled. However, this solution is not suitable for me, anyone have another solution? Many thanks.

Engine team has been fixed two issues related to the nested disabled Control Containers:

2023.2.1 (Patch 3) March 14, 2024

2. GENG-3381: Macros that contain a control container and a nested macro with a relative path causes error

2023.1.1.336 (Patch 5) January 16, 2024

2023.2.1.89 (Patch 2) January 25, 2024

Does this mean the fix will come in March?  Is there a workaround in the meantime?

[nbondarchuk]

Correct, the fix will be available in March.

A possible workaround is to disable all Browse functionality by ticking “ Disable All Browse Tools” checkbox in the Runtime tab of the Workflow window.

Hi! I have Error: Dynamic Multi File Sheet Names (22): Internal Error - Anchor (22:Output7) was not closed

Could you please help me to fix that?

I don't have the ability to easily download and install the latest software update, so are there any other workarounds? I attempted disabling all browse tools, but I ended up receiving the same error. Its worth noting, I have no issues running the workflow in designer, but it returns "Internal Error - Anchor (154:Log) was not closed" when attempting to schedule on gallery.

I am getting the same error on 2023.2.1.133. Have tried disabling and even deleting browse tools, no effect. Flow runs fine in Designer, but if I run as App it produces this error?

Has anyone got a solution.

Could you please share a workflow example that represents this issue?
