App Help - Third filter responsive to first two

[CiaranA]

Hi all, 

Hopefully someone can help me here! I've attached a packaged workflow with sample data in (not the full data set). 

My issue is that I want the third option in my app (the third drop down interface tool) to be responsive to what has arrived through the first two filters. 

i.e. filter 1 is Environment which the user can choose from the manually input list, filter 2 is format which is the same. 

Filter 3 is then a list of 'Weights' which will be quite different depending on what comes through and i want the third drop down to recognise the new list of potential weights in the data and then update the options.

I know this can be done but struggling somewhat!

Any help appreciated. 

Thanks,

Ciaran

Hi @CiaranA,

The interface tools don't work in this fashion. When Alteryx configures the Interface, none of the non-interface tools are run and only the Metadata is used to configure the tools. 

The ways around this involve:

1. Chaining Apps
2. Writing the options to a temp file and using that in another app
3. Or having a configure option, where a temp file is written, and a use option where that temp file is used. As in the picture below. Note, you may need to have another Input Tool, in a container activated by the 'Process Weights' Radio Button
