Date Interface integration with a filter

[Leandro-Dllula]

Hi All,

I'm trying to use a "Date" interface and connect it to a filter tool so I can pull the date from that date in particular, but I'm not sure why is not working properly. My filter does not change, when I review the output file.

Is the Action tool configured to replace the value and is the value typed as "Replace a specific string"? This article helps detail it a bit: Using interface tool to update date in Filter tool - Alteryx Community

You can use the Debug feature of Interface Designer to ensure that the value is passing through correctly. As a reminder, hitting Cntrl+R on the workflow won't show any new value you pass through - using the Debug feature is great to see how an app value passes through the Date tool and inserts into your Filter. Debug Workflow | Alteryx Help

Hi Alex this is how it is set up on the Replace a specific string, but still it does not change when I put a new date in. [Date] = "2023-02-27"

are you configuring your action tool to replace a specific string - and the specific string is 2023-02-27 (no quotes) - and are you running as an app (via wand) - not as a workflow? If so - post your workflow - that should be working.
