Challenge #15: Warehouse Shipped Miles

Solved!

 

Challanges are always fun to solve.

Like others, found the newer Designer Versions have a max find nearest miles value of 100. Was able to override this by changing the value of the underlying XML.

I enjoyed the challenge, however, I was thrown off by the current bug on the "Find Nearest" tool that restricts the Max Distance to 100 (mi/km). Luckily, I found that changing the XML manually solves this.

Can't use the Find Nearest tool, because I can't manually type a value into the Maximum Distance field, due to defect GCSE-2033.
This defect does not have a timeline for a fix as of 2/15/2024.
