Display information load from external data source

Question

Hey!

I am looking for a solution to display any information with the Interface Designer.

I have build a macro that is download a different count of urls.

The count of the downloaded urls saved in an external file.

Any time when I use the macro together with an app, I want to display the saved number in the file by the GUI-Interface of my macro, instead of the Browse Tool

But I miss a possibility in Alteryx!

Is there any solution?

If you have another output from your macro with the urls themselves and attach a browse on other tool, then show will display a count of those records.

I don't think there is a good way to display information dynamically in the interface (sounds like a good idea to introduce). But there is a hacky way: adding an interface tool that populates choices from a file. See attached example...
