Filter tool "The Field "X" is missing" Error

Hi all,

 

I'm getting an error with my filter tool but only when I run it as an app. It outputs perfectly when I run it with the files inputted directly into the workflow.

I saw this post (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Discussions/Field-is-Missing-Error-only-ap...) so I tried turning off AMP and it gives me a another set of errors with on top of the Filter error.

I've tried using Select tool and renaming F5 to something else but that still gave me the same error. Any ideas on what the issue is and how to fix it?

The new file you are feeding in via the file browse tool does not have a column called F5.

Try running the app in debug mode will allow you view the workflow with all the parameters inputted into the App allowing you troubleshoot.

Double-check the difference between the file in the workflow and the file you fed into the analytics app. BTW, it's a good practice to give column names, which would help you to debug when there is any issue. If this helps, please like the comment
