Show Field Map (Macro Input) Not Re-mapping Incoming Fields

Hi All, 

 

I have built a macro w/ Show Field Map check box selected. My understanding is that incoming field names will be re-named within the macro and flow through properly. When I am running my macro, I am receiving an error "Tool #X: The field "[Field Name]" is missing. Compare the tool configuration with the input stream. 

 

Does anyone know how to fix this? Attached are a few screenshots of the error & mappings.

@kalebtucker Hi,

You need your select tool with the 'Update with reverse Field Map' at the end of your macro, rather than the beginning. Currently you're renaming the fields to the mapped ones at the beginning of the macro, whereas you want that as the final step.

 

Hope that helps,

 

Ollie
