Hello Altyeryx community,

How can I use an output as input for another or the same workflow?

Hi @andyport75 you can use an Output tool to create/overwrite a file then use an Input Tool to bring that file into a new workflow or same workflow.

@andyport75 You might need to add a block until done tool combined with the dynamic input tool. 1) will create the new file and 2) will continue the workflow with the dynamic input tool to bring the new data in.

You can also use the input data tool rather than the dynamic input tool to bring in the new dataset as well.
