Change Input Settings on all inputs simultaneously

Hello -

I have multiple files on a canvas. Is there a way to change all of the inputs at once to input filename as field so I don't have to set each one individually?

How many files are involved? Would it be too many to have as workflow constants you can update before running the flow?

@JBO Just do a Ctrl+F this will open the Find Replace Window, you ca use this to replace all the Filenames that you need to change.

@JBO you can try opening the workflow in text editor, there find the "input filename as field" and then find & replace the setting.

<File OutputFileName="FileName" is what you need instead of <File OutputFileName="" in the .yxmd opened with text editor.

Hi,

 

There is an option to set the tool configuration as default. I would save the configuration of input tool for one of the files as default and then the tool would be already configurated when "inputing" all other files. If having the same configuration for all input tools is what you need. 

 

Let me know if that helps :)
