Error Opening Alteryx Application (yxwz)

[Skapoor1]

Hi Everyone 

I have created an application using 2020.2.3 version of the Alteryx Designer. However , when anyone with a lower version of alteryx tries to open the application , an error message pops up(attached). Even though there is no such element which would not work in the lower version. This is the case with all the applications i have created thus far. Is there any work around for this issue. Please help.

Hi @Skapoor1,

There is a splendid article about it:

You will be able to sort it in no time using notepad.

Please mark my post as an answer if this is something helpful!

Hi @Skapoor1 ,

You can ask people trying to open the App you have created to change the version of it through a text editor. Just drag the yxwz folder on note pad and an xml will appear.

If they change 2020.3 in row 2 to their version and save the xml that should remove the error.

Hope that tackles the problem, let me know if it worked for you
