[SalesForce] Visual Flow fail: required field missing (yet I have required field)

I'm working on the Trailhead Visual Workflow unit, and my flow keeps failing and I'm not sure why. The error message I get says, "caused by element : FlowRecordCreate.New_Opportunity
caused by: UPSERT — UPSERT FAILED — ERRORS : (REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING) Required fields are missing: [StageName] — for SFDC record with ID : null," but clearly you can see in the photo I have the Stage Name field. What am I missing? Thanks!!! Now adding my input screen as well. [ inputScreenFail ] Now adding prospecting choice screen. 1

The stored value needs to be assigned to the Prospecting choice. Think of the Label/Unique Name as a variable name and "Prospecting" as the value inside of the variable. I've seen conventions where people put a c_ in front of the variable name to help differentiate what type of variable it is.
So on the entry screen, it will check what is inside the variable and assign it to the stage as a default, currently it is assigning null since stored value is empty.

You need to set the Account on the new Account_Detail__c records. Try do something like this:

for(Account a : loops over a certain amount of times) {
    Account_Detail__c j = new Account_Detail__c();
    j.name ='blank';
    j.AccountId = a.Id;
    detailList.add(j);
}

[SalesForce] How to run Workflows without them getting stopped by Validation Rules

As I previously commented on the question (posting it as an answer this time), one of your quick and dirty options will be to change your validation rules and add exclusions for records that have been created prior the date the VR has been created. For an instance if you create a VR today and the workflows must still work on old records even they're not compliant, in your validation rule add && CreatedDate >= 07/05/2015 etc.

I would consider cleaning up the data in the org asap as it might lead later to even bigger issues. Let alone if you need to do data migration and such.
