Date Interface not updating text input field

Hello All

 

I am trying to use a Date Interface tool to allow an analyst to select a date and have it update the workflow directly from a gallery. The issue that I am running into however is that Date tool doesn't update the text input tool. Based on everything I have tried in the actions tool it should be replacing that value. I have tried both Update Value and Update Cell to no avail. 

 

I have attached an example workflow for reference.

Hi @MrP32 

I tried this, published to a gallery, and it's working.

The date is being changed (Just added an Output tool at the end to be able to see the output).

 

DATE SELECTION:

DateSelect.PNG

OUTPUT:

DateChanged.PNG

Maybe we can go step by step of the process of publishing it to the Gallery, and try to tackle a problem there..

You are a 100% correct that it works. I think I was expecting the date to change in the text input field. When that didn't change I assumed it wasn't working. 

 

However, when I put a data output field the data pulls 100% correctly. I don't know why I didn't think to do that. Thank you for your assistance.
