Programmatically export workflow xml view from Alteryx Designer

Question

Hi Team,
I'm Working on Alteryx designer, whenever I ran workflow I can see metadata in the metadata viewer, but yxmd file doesn't contains those info if I want to use this info later but xml view of workflow shows required info.
So, I wanted to export xml view of workflows from designer Or is there any automated/Programmatically possible way to export packages.
Please help me,

I'm on urgent need

Yes, but yxmd file contains metadata info tag for extreme sources not for intermediate components, that's why I went for export option.

Whenever I open yxmd file on designer then only I can see metadata info but if I open yxmd file on other editor it won't show.

You don't need to export your workflow (yxmd > yxzp) for it to show the <RecordInfo> metadata in the xml. Your workflow (yxmd file) will still have the RecordInfo metadata. So, unless I've missed something, that should satisfy your need.

Hi PhilipMannering

Thank You So Much for your response

Yes, I can visualize metadata on Designer tool, but I want these metadata to be present either on yxmd or xml format

Below is sample where I can view metadata info tag

I can export packages from Alteryx designer through "Export Workflow" utility, but it's a manual process,

I wanted to automate this things programmatically, So exported workflows contains Metadata for all the nodes in yxmd or xml format.

Thank You
