Macro question input get disconnected when donwloaded from git

[187]

Hi Alteryx Engineer,

I found out that if we have all macros input question configured and uploaded into GIT, while others download from git, the macros question input will get lost, this is so weird and wasting time, every time we merge the workflows, we need to re-configure the question input for macros, any thoughts?

Hi @187,

The reason for including these questions in macros is so that users can choose variables for the macros to use. While making the macro, you can choose to include default selections for these questions, so that when the macro is put onto a workflow it doesn't need reconfiguring. Here's how you can choose this default in the Drop-Down tool:

Hope this helps!

Have you tried packaging a workflow containing the macro to share that way? This would keep the existing connections to the macro. The user would be able to connect a new workflow, if needed after opening the packaged workflow.

Hi @jdminton 

we are working on our own macros, and upload the latest to the git, and merge. we didnt package what we done

I understand. My suggestion is that you try packaging them.
