Error "Can’t get |temporary items path|" when running workflow.

Hi there,

I'm quite new to Automator and scripting. I've got a workflow I'm working on which opens HTML files and extracts specific data from them. There are over 7000 files that need to be processed.
During testing, I used only a couple of HTML files at a time and the workflow completed without errors. When trying to process all of these files I get an error from the third party action "Dispense Items Incrementally":

The action “Dispense Items Incrementally” encountered an error: “Can’t get |temporary items path| of {action:item id 7, ignoresInput:false}.”
Can’t get |temporary items path| of {action:item id 7, ignoresInput:false}.
I've just checked the logs and this is what they say:

2017-12-13 14:29:24 +0000: Run AppleScript completed
2017-12-13 14:29:24 +0000: Get Specified Finder Items completed
2017-12-13 14:29:31 +0000: Get Folder Contents completed
2017-12-13 14:30:07 +0000: Filter Finder Items completed
2017-12-13 14:30:08 +0000: Dispense Items Incrementally failed - 1 error, 1 warning
2017-12-13 14:30:07 +0000: The action “Dispense Items Incrementally” was not supplied with the required data.
2017-12-13 14:30:08 +0000: Can’t get |temporary items path| of {action:item id 7, ignoresInput:false}.

Could anybody shed some light on what might be going wrong here?

Many thanks in advance smile

Jon
