__Cloud:UserId variable not working in macro

[kmedici]

Hello, 

I'm developing a macro which uses the _cloud:UserId variable within the 'text box' interface tool. Upon my testing on Alteryx Server, I'm finding that the expected user GUID isn't being identified within the macro. 

I've tested the exact same configuration within the macro, and outside of the macro to identify where the problem may lie. 

Attached is a packaged WF containing my findings. Does anybody know if macros can use the user variable?

Thanks
Kris

Hi @kmedici ,

I'm not sure why it doesn't work in the macro, but I've amended it slightly to feed in the updated value from the text input into the macro. That should then use the same value as that determined in the primary workflow.

Let me know if that helps.
