Dynamic List in App on gallery

Alter_Shivi — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 11:47:05 GMT

Hi All,

I have an excel file on sharepoint. It has 50+ columns and is subject to change each month.

I am creating an app for the various stakeholders so they can download a custom file (required columns). I have used chained app approach, however when i run the app on gallery it is giving an prompt:

"List Box (7)

Choose one or more options from the following.

Connect to an upstream tool to populate."

the app1 is writing an yxdb file with path .\abc.yxdb, in app 2 the list reads the file.\abc.yxdb.

any experienced person who can help with this.

since i am running on gallery i tried running with %Engine.TempFilePath% after i tried running with ./

but both kind of give the same error.

if i just run my app1 on gallery its last status does say that ""columns.yxdb"|AlteryxBasePluginsGui.DbFileOutput.DbFileOutput."

remove all path "stuff". just the YXDB name is all you need. then make sure to check them in the Manage Assets section when you upload to Gallery.

thanks. i had tried this before, however i guess it was also loading the files generated while i tried running them in designer. i tried saving the the two apps in an empty folder in my computer. then i saved it on server as chained app. in asset there were two output files and app2. (no other files).
