Multi Row Formula - Update via Macro

Hi Everyone,

 

 

 

please can you assist me, I wish to select certain fields  in a multi-row formula under "group by" through a macro, 

 

Reason being i have multiple multi row formulas and wish to use a macro to select these key fields once and apply to all Multi row Formulas with the macro.

 

Below is a snapshot of my interface for macro

and my actual macro is below

Once i am able to update the fields from the first formula, i will then need to apply this to all. 

 

This is a real challenge, my current configuration in my action tool is per below:

Hi @asifk 

 

If you change the way that the list box generates it's answer to being the XML of the tool that will be the easist.

 

So having:

 

Start Text - <Field field="
Separator - " /><Field field="
End Text - " />

You can then update the XML of the tool in the action:
