I have a file that I am trying to use with a Find and Replace tool. The Fields are coming through the select tool, but are not present in the Find and Replace tool (see screenshots below). I have run the workflow, refreshed using F5, restarted Alteryx, etc. to no avail. Has anybody else encountered this and have any advice?

Are the data types of the fields string or numeric? Only string fields will show in the dropdown in the find and replace tool. You can update this in the select tool

Resolved. Seems like it was a bug on the canvas, I copied and pasted the entire workflow onto a new canvas and it worked.

 

Thanks
