Field generated from Dynamic Input tool not found when connected to another tool

[vargasw]

Hi,

I have an issue where my fields that are coming from a Dynamic Input process is not being found when connected to a new tool. 

I'm still able to do a successful regular RUN of the workflow, and also a successful run via the Interface Magic Wand. Everything runs as expected. The error sign goes away after running the workflow. 

The error sign only comes up when I first open my workflow.

Now that I'm trying to save this workflow to the Server, I need to clear out this "error". 

Here is what the workflow is doing:

Browse File (pulling Sheet Names) --> connected to a Formula Tool (to replace the File Name, based on the file input) --> connected to a Filter Tool (to select 1 of the two Sheet Names) --> connected to a Dynamic Input Tool (which Change Entire File Path)

The above connections have no issues. 

As you see below the issue occurs when trying to use the data brought forward from the dynamic input source, and connected to another tool.

I'm attaching the workflow and the input file used for the workflow. 

Thanks

@vargasw I can run your workflow, I am not seeing any error. what was the error you were facing?

Hi @binuacs,

The issue pops up every time when I first open the workflow.  Once I run the workflow the error message goes away. 

Below is a snapshot when the error pops up:

Now, when the workflow is Run, this message goes away, and there is no error.

Thanks

@vargasw I believe since it's a dynamic input tool, it doesn't generate metadata until it's run. Meaning the Join tool doesn't see any of the fields until the metadata is generated. This happens a lot with Python tools, macros, and possible the dynamic input tool.

@vargasw, can you enable Auto-configure from the user settings and try again?
