Dynamically change Input files in Analytical app

Pandey19

I'm trying to create an app in Alteryx where in i've used File browse to take input and then its action tool is connected to my Input tool.

I wanted to change my input tool to take the file what user is passing from app. That means irrespective of default file selected in input tool, it should replace it with that of user input.

 

I'm using Updated input data tool(default) option in action.

Is it possible to change my input based in selection in app?

Hi @Pandey19 ,

 

You need to update your Action tool to overwrite the value in the "Connect a File or Database" field in the Input tool:

This will overwrite that value.
