Force Value on Control Parameter

[msedrech0114]

Hello Alteryx Community,

Is there a way to force a value on Control Parameter in Macro? This is me testing the huge macro workflow. 

Thank you in advance,

Mark

Are you trying to force a value just to debug? You could try debug mode in the Test View. This article might help: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/Fixing-Macros-and-Analytic-Apps-Using-Debug-Mode/ba-p/...

@msedrech0114 One option that I like is to use reference shortcuts. 

You can then put a test value in the workflow configuration panel. I've entered apple for a dumb example.

I use the method @patrick_digan suggested and also suggest that method. If you edit the tools name in the annotation tab, (Make sure its the actual name, not the label in the configuration tab of the tool) it will make it easier to call and more readable for what you are referencing.

Not really debugging, but I am trying to test the input data attached to the control param update value. I want to change the value passed to the control param so I can test the input data without modifying the query inside the input data.
