Improved 'Select Records' Tool

Status: Accepting Votes Submitted by on ‎10-07-2021 09:28 AM

In working with a user who was having issues with workflows hanging, I found that the ‘Select Records’ tool seems to requires an inordinate amount of CPU Utilization.  To fix this, I rewrote the ‘Select Records’ macro to avoid using the ‘Dynamic Replace’ Tool.  What I found is that this not only significantly lowered CPU usage, but also runtime.

hi @a143512, thanks for investigating! I love the transparency that macros bring to the table.
