The node "Configuration" is missing the child node "FormatSpecificOptions"

[Data_Alter]

I am developing an app in which I want to user an option to select the row from which they want to start the import.

But I keep getting this error 

• The Action "Tool #9" has an error: The node "Configuration" is missing the child node "FormatSpecificOptions"

I have attached part of the workflow below. Please can someone see what is causing this error.

Thanks,

@Takkastar,

Have you tried to use numeric up down instead of input text.

I tried it and it works,

Attached the workflow.

Hope that Helps,

I am on slightly older version of Alteryx its seems. Would you mind posting configuration of your Action tool.

I have pasted screenshot of mine below

@Data_Alter,

1- Config

2- Output here I started importing data from 18th row (My file have 21 row)

below how you can downgrade Alteryx workflow:

Look for the workflow file open that in notepad.  Change the <AlteryxDocument> element to your version

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<AlteryxDocument yxmdVer="2020.4">
  <Nodes>
    <Node ToolID="1">

Attached the workflow,

Hope that helps,

This is very helpful. I have managed to make it work

But what i wanted was my app to replicate what Alteryx Designer has in its input node , which is an option to start the import on a specific row and treating it as header like in the example below

But when upload I the file even after saying that start the upload from 6 row , it is still picking the first row of data. 

In the example below I have headers from the 6th row and just random text before that hence i want the app to show the proper header like it does in the designer.

@Data_Alter,

I used the workflow I shared with you and this is the result:

May be I didn't understand well you're point.

Could you tell me you're Alteryx version? and I will give you the workflow.

Hi @messi007 

I think I am getting an error because I have ticked the below while in your workflow you haven't. 

Please let me know if it works when you tick this.
