Action tool to replace folder browse location

HarriDhillon

Hello,

 

I have setup a workflow where I want the Action tool to allow the user to run the Analytic App and select the save location for the output.

 

In 'Select an action type' I have selected 'Update Value with Formula', selected the output location, and entered the formula as:

 

Replace([Destination], "C:\Users\XXXXXXXXXXXXX", [#1])

 

However, when running the app, it still saves the output in the original folder location, even though I select a different location? I even tried 'Update Value (Default)' and ticked the box to 'Replace a specific string' and entered the above folder path in quotes, but it made no difference. 

 

I have used the 'Update Value with Formula' method before and it works, the only difference is before the outputs were rendered .xlsx files, and this times its a .txt file, but surely that shouldn't make a difference?

This is roughly what I'm trying to do. I've shorted the full path to just C:\Users\
