AppleScript Syntax Error Help - Conversion from Anything to Files/folders failed

Hi - I created an Automator script to prompt me for a name to create a folder and select a document to copy. that used to work. Ever since I updated to 10.14.3 I am now getting a syntax error for my Run AppleScript step. Why am I getting this error?

"Run AppleScript failed - 1 error"

"The action "Run AppleScript" encountered an error: "The operation could not be completed. (com.apple.Automator error -212.)"

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

In Mojave, there is an Automator action in the TextEdit library named Ask for Text. Why not use that instead of your initial Run AppleScript?

I don't know how to set a value of a variable using Ask For Text.
