Hi All,Quick Question, if I want to have the working directory in command tool to get the path from a formula in the workflow, is there a way to do it?

Hi @shravanvijayaprasad, the Run Command tool natively does not allow us to leverage formula fields from upstream. The one workaround I can think of is to put the run command tool within a macro and parameterize the working directory field by using the action tool. The image below is an illustration of what I am suggesting:
