I get the following error when trying to use a “Get attribute” activity. The error says I need to compile the workflow. I am unsure how to do that. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hi,

In many case, double quote except 0x22 character causes this matter. So, can you retype/replace all the double quote with 0x22 character (`"`) ?

Regards,

I solved the problem. I simply had to call this workflow inside of Main. However, I wish I could have been able to run this child workflow on its own. But the current workaround is good enough
