Extract the filename from the S3 Download Tool

Daniel_Figueredo

Hello all!

 

 

Previously, I was using the "Input Data" tool as the input for my workflow and using the option to output the filename as a field since it is important to the workflow logic. But now, I have to use the S3 Download Tool to get this file and I can't figure out how to retrieve it's name using it.

 

Is there anyway I can retrieve the filename while using the S3 Download as my input tool?

 

Thanks!

Best regards.

Hi @Daniel_Figueredo 

 

It doesn't look like this is possible. If you look at the metadata at the output of the S3 Download tool, Source and Description is empty and the same when you use the Field Info tool.
