Edit download tool globally

Hi guys,

 

I have around 12 Download Tools in my Workflow and I need to edit authorization header in all of them in a same way ( changing Smartsheet token ).

I know I can do it manually and it's going to take 10-15 minutes, but I'm wondering if there is a way to edit this data globally without taking tools one by one. Does anybody know if this is possible?

Hi @aleczek12 , you can use the 'Find and Replace' functionality in Designer to do this.

Press Ctrl + F to bring up the window. Copy and paste the old key into the 'Find' box, and the new key into the 'Replace' box.

Press 'Replace All' to change all of the keys at once:

Hope this helps! Also consider having the headers within the workflow rather than hard-coded into the tools.

If your Bearer Token is likely to change frequently (and I imagine it is) I would consider appending it to all your data streams and selecting it from the field like so,

Of course, this is a bit more work up front, but should be more dynamic.
