Reading Macro

I use the Alteryx version 2020.3. 

The behavior of the shape files loaded in this challenge is a little strange at this version.
Now the solution Workflow doesn't work.
When I run the Workflow, the field name of the shape file is changed every time.

 

When the solution file was created, I think it was all loaded with "Field1".

 

And I think that the shape file have blank field name.

Used a macro to open each file, transpose the data inside, and filter "fid" and SpatialObjs. Converted the data to a number outside the macro before summing.
