Macro question not pre-filled when moving workflow by modifying underlying XML

I modified the underlying XML of a workflow to change some configurations like file paths and database connection names to deploy the same workflow on a different environment. However, the questions of macros in the new workflow are not pre-filled! 

 

For you reference I have attached a few screenshots of an example:

Image1: Original workflow. See that the question to the macro is already filled.

Image2: Same can be seen in the underlying XML of the original workflow on line 465.

 

<Configuration>
<Value name="ControlParams"><![CDATA[Control Parameter (2)=Pre-SQL
]]></Value>
</Configuration>

Image3: New workflow with modified XML containing different file paths and database connections from the original workflow. You can see that the macro is connected correctly however, the question if not pre-filled!

Image4: In the underlying XML of the new workflow, you can see that the question is answered on line 465. But the same is not reflected in the new workflow.

 

<Configuration>
<Value name="ControlParams"><![CDATA[Control Parameter (2)=Pre-SQL
]]></Value>
</Configuration>

Please help to solve this problem. Thank you.

Hi,

Do a diff between the "Old" vs "New" workflows and maybe it will shed some light on the issue.
