How to dynamically update List Box with Fields from Connected Tool Option

TeresaZhang7517

When I using List Box to grab dynamic folder list, it doesn't dynamically update. I don't know if I missed some settings.

If I click Run button to run workflow, and then click TeresaZhang7517_1-1656922897415.png. List box list will display all of choices. But If I modified data(create new folder or delete folder) that connected to List box. And click TeresaZhang7517_1-1656922897415.png, List box list doesn't update.

Attachment is my workflow demo.

Could someone help me on this? Thanks a lot.

Teresa

@TeresaZhang7517 you can use a chained app to solve this:

Hi @messi007 ,

 

I am sorry, but this article doesn't solve my problem. If I filter partial CustomerSegment, save workflow on example. And then Test view doesn't have any changes than before. It just will be updated when I click Run button. It looks like a cache, not dynamically update.

Any luck with the chained app approach @TeresaZhang7517? It allows you to run a workflow before entering your app ensuring the data in your app is up to date.

Hi @IraWatt ,

 

I do some testing on this solution. But I got the same issue(there are only three sub folders under my input folder), could you help me to check what is wrong? Thanks a lot for your reply.
