Update Input path using a drop down

JoePrespare

Hello, I have multiple users who all perform a similar function for different clients. As such, the folders they would be accessing are all on a central drive, where the file structure is the same. Example would be N:\Client_Work\ABC_Client\Input\ and N:\Client_Work\XYZ_Client\Input\. All the input files would be in the input folder, but client names would change.

I have drop down being configured by a text input for the names and values, but I would like to change the path for the inputs. But when I test the app, I only get the path that's first in my list, rather than what I selected from the list.

I'm rather green, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just looks like it's your formula in the Action Tool.

So when you select a newspaper,  I assume that is going to pass a file location to the action tool.

You want to update that File path and appear to have a formula with [#1] and [destination] in it.

I would change it "Update Value (Default)" as an action type.

Select "File - value ' ..."

Replace the string that is the "N:\" path.

But also if you're looking to grab everything in the directory, it might be a directory input you're after
