List box and filter - where am I going wrong?

I'm trying to create a list box (which presents a list of options to the user from data contained within the workflow) which then changes the configuration of a filter.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I keep getting an error message when I run it.

I also dislike my clunky text to columns approach to get the inputs for the list.

Would be very grateful for your thoughts!

Hi @chickenlicken!

Try changing these configurations:

1) List Box (4) from "Select Tool Mode" to "Generate Custom List"

2) Action (5) change the Replace a specific string: to "Pignuts","Grass","Grain","Bread" (remove the outer parenthesis)

With those two small modifications, the app worked for me. Let me know if it works for you!

Please check if the attached works.

Also, I didn't get any errors when running the workflow.

Can you add a screenshot of your error?

The error encountered is the result of running the workflow as an application, not just running the workflow (The magic wand button vs. the play button) - this is because the error is occuring when the update values occurs.

The solution as provided by ddiesel below solves the issue.

@ddieselthanks for your comments on this one. I struggled with a List Box not updating for about 3 hours. Your example ultimately pointed out my error - I had left a space between filter items I wanted to replace with List Box values. Removing the space fixed it all
