Error in Find and Replace Tool -

Hello Reader,

 

While opening my designer file, I see issue with Find & Replace Tool every time I open it.

 

Can you please help? I have attached screenshot for reference.

 

Each time I have to reconfigure and save it. Yet the same issue.

 

Please note, I recently changed my laptop and installed alteryx on it. I am facing this issue since then. Is there any connection?

Do you mean you have corected configured the Find and Replace tool and saved the flow, and the error in the atached will pop up nex time you opened the flow?

Yes, you are right.

@ankush-agrawal, just to clarify are you using some kind of connector where you have to run it every time to get the field names? Suppose you use a connector then when you add a select tool you have to run the workflow in order to view the field names?

 

Thanks!

Good point.
 I would suspect the same.

I am attaching the snapshot of workflow here. To answer your question, does dynamic input tool counts?

@ankush-agrawal, do the columns change when you are using the dynamic input tool I mean the schema of the files?

Do you mean adding select tool, and changing columns up and down? Can you suggest some example?

@ankush-agrawal, the dynamic tool you are using might be the case as it is not static. I tried to replicate this and was successful.

I am using similar setup for another Find and Replace in same designer. Don't see any issue there. Why in this case?

 

What is the solution?
