Batch LAS to Multipoint in ArcGIS Pro 2.6

Having some issues building a model to batch convert LAS files to Multipoints in ArcGIS Pro 2.6. I'm trying to loop through a folder with LAS files, and create a separate multipoint feature class for each LAS file. I've writing the output to a file gdb with %Name% as the inline variable substitution. 

I have a model with the Iterate Files connected to the LAS to Multipoint tool. The model doesn't work and returns an error that the input parameter is not a folder. 

If I right-click the LAS to Multipoint tool and run in in batch mode, 'Input File' is not an option as the batch parameter.

What's interesting is that this model works exactly as set up in ArcMap. Any reason why the functionality wasn't ported over to Pro? Or I'm missing something obvious...any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Figure it out. In Pro you need to define the filetype in the Iterator. This was not needed in ArcMap.
