Dynamic List Box Not Populating Correctly

Hello,

 

I am looking for help. I currently have a Chained App as follows:

 

1. Chain App 1: User selects the input files (3 files) for analysis --> these input files are exported as .yxdb files (File 1,2,3)

2. Chain App 2: Performs analysis on a monthly basis based on the files uploaded --> Files 1,2,3 are inputted and once the analysis is complete an output is generated (Analysis.yxdb)

3. Chain App 3: User selects the analyzed months for output generation (for our purposes, we do not need to see every month) 

 

I'm having an issue with Chain App 3. 1&2 are fine and functioning correctly.

 

I tried creating a list box to be dynamic based on the the file the user inputs since the months of analysis can differ widely. However, my list box isn't updating based on the uploaded user files. When I click run workflow on Chain App 3, that's the only time it'll refresh the dates. Any idea that I'm missing? Unfortunately I can't upload my workflow for security reasons.

Hi Everyone! Thanks for the suggestions. I was able to piece-meal a solution as follows using the NAME/VALUE solution as one of you suggested. Thanks for the info about the select tool, I figured there was something there that was causing the lack of update when I ran as an analytical app.
