Automator Workflow, Stops to work as Application

Me and my brother have created an automator action which renames files in a pattern as such:

Filename.pdf
to
YYMMDD_Projectname_Filename.pdf

Before the renaming process, a dialog box opens which gives the user the possibility to:
Adopt the date,
Adopt the projectname
Adopt the filename

If none of the fields are adopted, the action adds the today's date as well as the predefined projectname at the begining and leaves the filename unchanged.

The Action works fine as a workflow within Automator but does not as an application.
What did we miss here? Any Clue? Thanks so much in advance

I've attached the Automator action as a zip file.

Hello and welcome.

We have a few folks here with some AppleScript/Automator knowledge, so hopefully they will chime in. You can also post this question at the following link - they have much more experience with all things Mac scripting:
