Macro outputs field name from Template Input rather that workflow data

This seems to be a bug, but I don't want to jump to that conclusion so I'm seeing if anybody else is familiar with this - 

 

I built a standard Macro to rename the single field of the input data for further transformation, but I also need to retain the original field name for the Macro output. When I use the Macro as part of a standard workflow, the Macro appears to be processing the data input from the workflow, but the Macro Output still contains the field name from the test data. I don't understand how this could happen. Can someone please run my Macro and see if you are getting the same result? I hope I just have to change some configuration, but I can't see what needs to change.

@cnicoll could you package the workflow up? I am unable to use the macro with the current way you uploaded.

Woops! Thank you for calling out my oversight. I edited the original post to attach the workflow package.

@cnicoll I have re-uploaded with a slight tweak. Macro's don't change the column names, just the data passing through it. I would do the part that gets the field name outside of the macro and pass it in as I have shown in the attached.
