Quick Toggle Between Input A and B for a common workflow

[hellyars]

Is there a way to connect  2  inputs to a workflow and rapidly switch between input A and B to test the workflow as you built it out (to identify anomalies in seemingly similar inputs)?

Hi @hellyars you could have two input tools in separate containers, connected to a Union tool, then just toggle the disable option in the containers

@markcurry  That's so simple it's brilliant.  I need a second cup of coffee. Thanks.

@markcurry  Oh wait....  I just remembered.  I am trying to trouble shoot subtle mistakes or deliberate changes in the field names.  So...

[markcurry]

@hellyars  In that case, you could use the 'Expect Equal' Crew Macro to compare the inputs.   

Or you use the 'Field Info' tool after each input and do a Join on the Field Name or Data Type to check for differences.  Hope that helps

I assume this is OBE now that we have smart containers.  Will test in the next few days.

This looks cool.  I am going to check it out.
