Is my ExportVariabletoCSV missing its input argument?

From the threads I'd came across, I am supposed to key in the variables to be converted to CSV in both the AddOutputVariable and ExportVariabletoCSV scripts. However, for my ExportVariabletoCSV, there is nothing for me to input. The input segment of the script is totally blank. Am I missing something?

I am getting the error: Script argument 'variable_name' is required, but the user argument does not have a value or default value set.

On the right-hand pane of the "ExportVariabletoCSV" measure, there should be an input blank to insert the name of the variable to be exported and the corresponding frequency. I'm now using the OpenStudio Application 1.0.0 and there are no blanks in the measure pane.
I'm pretty sure I correctly used the "ExportVariabletoCSV" measure in a previous OpenStudio Application release.
I'm sorry, but I can't still upload images.

Hey gianfra, I get your frustration there hahah i'm using OpenStudio 3.0.0 and I'm experiencing the same issue too. I'd actually worked around the issue by using xEsoView to extract my output variable data from the eplusout.eso file. You may refer to this thread for info:

Hi,

While using OpenStudio Application 1.0.0 or Parametric Analysis Tool 3.0.1, you may alter the measure ExportVariabletoCSV a bit to sort out your issue. Replace def arguments() with def arguments(model = nil). A picture of the same is attached here for reference.
