Is there a way to dynamically change the input groupby field in a batch macro?

I'm trying to create an analytic app which allows for multiple search criteria to be used for any given field in my dataset. The main issue I'm running into is that I can't update the group by field that isn't associated with the control parameter for the batch macro but I can dynamically update all other fields. Please help! the below field is what I'm trying to dynamically update.

Hi @MSims ,

 

Can you provide your workflow and show us what it is you're trying to do?

The general analytic app has two inputs a drop down and a text box. I am trying to get the drop down to update one of the configuration options in my batch macro so that I can dynamicaly use the batch macro to filter through different fields rather than one predetermined one. The general workflow looks like this:

Where my batch macro is a simple filter batch macro:

When I go to configure the action tools to update the fields in the configuration panel of the batch macro tool it provides me with only 3 of the 4 options I am looking for.

The last piece I am trying to figure out is how to also update the Input2 GroupBy Field configuration option:
