__cloud:UserID pulling null values

[cklint]

Hi everyone, I am looking to get a simple __cloud:UserID workflow to work, would anyone have any input as to what is going wrong in this test?

In this case, I would expect it to replace the * with the UserID values, but instead when I run it, I am getting null values.

The idea is this is saved to the server, run off there, and then the output preview would show the __cloud:UserID value.

Any ideas?

 
Thanks

@cklint Not able to open the workflow
can you please add a snip of Action tool configuration.

Presumably this "__cloud:UserID" method only works on server, and won't work locally. Did you try it on server?

I agree with @PhilipMannering . Also, many systems treat a * as a wildcard. I would set the default as something or unique to prevent any issues there.

Yes, this is loaded to the server and run off the server, the outputs I get off the server are blank however.

Try a lower case "d" (i.e. __cloud:UserId )

[cklint]

I tried a different default but it made no difference, it gets filled with a null value.

@Raj Try dragging and dropping it directly into the Alteryx program

@PhilipMannering Unfortunately doesn't help, same results.

Can you send the screen-shotted part of the workflow?
