__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

Here is the action tool conig, I have changed the * to "UPDATE" (with no success)

It should be in the thread as an attachment, you may have to drag and drop it directly into your Alteryx Designer.

This works for me (attached). Maybe you didn't change the case of the "d" in the Annotation > Name.

UserID normally works fine either way, although I did try UserId (both annotation etc updated) and I am still only getting null results.

Try my attachment (previous message). If it still doesn't then I'm all out of ideas.

Very interesting, your attachment actually does work..

I found the issue, every time I was "Saving" and updating the workflow with these suggestions, I was saving new versions with the exact same name (as opposed to saving over the old one) so I had 10 versions of the same workflow with the exact same name, and after each update I was rerunning the old one...

The issue was indeed the capitalization on the "D"! Its all working now as intended. I got to remember that just because workflows share the same name/locations, they don't save over each other.

Thanks!
