Trying to create a switch with detour

Im trying to create a simple filtered/unfiltered toggle to switch between which data is sent to the next tool. Ive tried using the detour below and the data makes it into the union tool but the union tool always outputs no data even when i specify the fields are the same (even though one side has no data)

Hey @Carluccio555 - when you detour your data like this, use a Detour End tool to bring the 2 streams back together, rather than where you have your Union.

Detour is always autoconfigured to go in one direction when running as a workflow - you could be executing to go to a side to filter out your data. Detour is usually auto-configured to go to the lower (Right) section - and will detour to the upper (left) when activated.
