Is it possible to upload a txt file in the alteryx server? See attached file browse configuration and error message.
Hi @garretwalters12
Instead of using the regular "Update Input Tool" option, try to use the "Update Value" option and replace the file path.
See image below.
If you have the input tool correctly configured, it should work. Txt files are most of the times interpreted as CSV format in Alteryx.
Cheers,
Works when testing in developer but not in the actual server

trying to tackle the same issue using file browser and update value. However, i don't see the options of selecting the file path as you did. The picture shows what I see when selecting 'Update value'.
Hi @garretwalters12 @Alteryx_Geek
Using this works for me:
(*.txt)|*.txt|(*.TXT)|*.TXT
@Luke_C - THanks Luke. but it is not working when publishing on gallery and then when trying to run from gallery it says "not a known format"
@Alteryx_Geek Forgot a key part of this - what's your action tool doing? Make sure it's updating the file value and not replacing a specific string or set to the update input tool default.
@Luke_C - D A M N bro, it worked, much appreciated !!!
if I were to select multiple text file then should I use "Folder Browse" ?
Hi @Alteryx_Geek
Folder Browse is not supported on the gallery. Check out this link for the workaround

@Luke_C - Okay will check, thanks for sharing
2023 and this solution still works!
