Tool ID xx is not in the document

[craigja]

Ive just upgraded from 23. something to 24.1 and now when opening a particular workflow that ive been working on I get Tool ID 448 is not in the document and it wont open!  I have a very old version and can see that tool ID 448 is the Input Data tool.  If I drag the input data tool to a new workspace and connect to the same datasource it works, so I dont know why I get this error and what I can do to resolve it. Any ideas community? :-)

this issue is due to Sometimes, certain tools may have been updated or deprecated in newer versions.

hope this helps.

Its not that as I can add the input data tool to a new canvas and connect to the same data source with no issues. I dont know what to do as I cant open the workflow at all

Sorted!  And when I looked in the XML at that tool ID it was a Macro - the I remembered.... I opened it a few versions ago and the input data tool had turned into a macro (Which might have been me by mistake, clicking the convert to macro option). I then clicked convert from macro input, made my other changes and resaved but this has obviously done the damage!  Thanks for your assistance getting it sorted
