Alteryx App, Browse for Input, use this files fields for dropdown

[wonka1234]

Hi,

How can I alter my app to update its fields based on my browse file?

For example:

My file is like below:

First Name	Last Name
Louis	Stevens

Now how can I get my join later on to have these fields as options?

Right now based on what I have in my desktop it keeps those fields as my options in the alteryx server.

Ie:

but my server will say the fields in my standard_recon file. 

ie in my alteryx server it says this option, which is in my standard recon file, not my "First and Last Name" file.

Hi @wonka1234 ,

Two things to check:

1. When you published to the server did you package the file as an asset? If so, it will never update and will always be the file you loaded with the workflow to the server.

2. Are you pointing at the correct file? The filepath you are using needs to be reachable from the server and needs to be pointing at the correct file. If you have changed the filepath and/or file name in your local designer, you will need to re-publish to point at the new file.

@mceleavey  Yes, tried both these, still not working :(

So on point one, you definitely did NOT package the file?
