Hello,
In an Alteryx app I'd like to display for instance 3 text boxes in the interface if the user previously entered "3" in a NumericUpDown or 5 if he selected 5.
I don't know if that is possible, maybe someone can help me on that.
Interface would look like this :
How many groups do you want to create ? -> 3 [NumericUpDown]
Group1 Name [Text Box]
Group2 Name [Text Box]
Group3 Name [Text Box]
Or
How many groups do you want to create ? -> 5 [NumericUpDown]
Group1 Name [Text Box]
Group2 Name [Text Box]
Group3 Name [Text Box]
Group4 Name [Text Box]
Group5 Name [Text Box]
Thank you in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @pierrebocq ,
The out-of-the-box answer to this is NO.
However, as with everything Alteryx, where there's a will there's a way.
You will need to build chained apps, using the count of the output of the first to drive the template in the second.
This is a very complicated area and involves "Dynamic Hardcoding" or loading in the XML of the second app (or a template), messing with the XML, and saving out to the app to which you will then chain.
I wrote a blog on this subject which you can read HERE.
The following are some resources on how to chain apps in Alteryx:

I hope these are useful.

Hello @mceleavey
Thank you, that what I thought about an out-of-the-box solution.
For the time being I'll drive myself towards more essential features but I'll definitely check those ressources when I get a little spare time.
Thank you again for the quick, clear and thorough answer.
