Need some help here. This shouldn't happen:
There is a bug in the Alteryx code.
I don't believe any of the answers given sufficiently address this problem.
The workaround is to open the macro as a text file. At the very bottom of that file there is a "Questions" section. It is under "RuntimeProperties" and looks like:
Copy this text and paste before the closing </Questions> statement:
<Question><Type>Tab</Type><Description>Questions</Description><Name>Tab ([yourtoolidhere])</Name><ToolId value="[yourtoolidhere]" /><Questions /></Question>
Save your file and you should be able to load the macro.
Hi @JDeJong These two threads should help you. Essentially you are going to need to go into the xml and delete tool id 12

Why tool ID '12'? Seems arbitrary.
Sounds like the tool may have been corrupted and would of been no real reason why specifically tool id 12.
The problem seems to have been introduced by the latest feature that allows you to convert tools - eg Convert Browse to Macro Output. The dev team is aware and working on a fix. I'll let you know when once the fix is available.
