File browse not mandatory in macro

[pvan154]

Hi~

I'm building a macro where there are macro input for mandatory dataset, and a File Browse tool to upload an additional file to be mapped with the mandatory dataset. The additional file is not mandatory, meaning the users can leave it blank if want to. However I ran into the problem that

(1) if I run the macro on another computer that does not contain the sample file I put in the Input tool that connect to the File Browse tool; and

(2) the File Browse tool is left blank

then Alteryx will say there is an error because the file specified in the Input tool cannot be found. Is there a way to solve this? I know if I turn it into an app, but I was required to do it in macro form. 

Thanks~~

@pvan154 - for question 2, in the action tool connected to the file browse there's an option to make the input required or not. Have you checked that?

Yes I made sure this was unchecked.
