Text Box Update Value Not Updating Properly

Hey all,

 

I apologize, I've seen different threads on this before and I tried referencing them, but I'm still stuck.  I'm trying to build an analytical app where a user can enter in a Category Name in the text box and it would update the filter when run.  In the filter I have the value "Buckets" and I'd like that updated with whatever the user enters like "Nails" or any other string value.  Every time I test out the workflow it still returns information for Buckets instead of the value I enter.  I'm sure it's some little detail I'm overlooking.  Any help would be appreciated.

Gave it a shot, but still the same results sadly.

@jeasley4815 Can you select the below-highlighted part instead of mode - value = Simple?
