Macro works when opened in Designer - wont work as a tool in other workflows.

[Peace_B1]

Hello, 

I am trying to create a macro that will dynamically pull files from our network folder based on a drop down list. The macro works when you open the macro file and run - see below 5k records loaded. 

However, i save that same workflow and put the macro in a new workflow - an then nothing. No error messages either. 

Any thoughts on things i should look at first? This is my first macro so im not very familiar with troubleshooting. 

Thanks,

Open the macro, then open View > Interface Designer, then click the magic wand icon, populate any parameter values, and click the Open Debug button.  Your macro will open in a new Debug tab, with the user interface elements removed.  Then click Run in the Debug tab.

Can you post the macro?  Is the value for Extract Type supposed to be supplied as a parameter in your main workflow?

When you open the macro, in the Workflow Configuration, Workflow tab, what is the macro type?

I JUST solved it through the debug menu. My issue came down to a space in the dropdown menu that was impacting the filter tool itself. 

- Thanks!
