How to make analytic app run workflow in designer

Hi,

 

When I open my .yxmz file it asks for my file inputs, which is expected.

Also when in the designer and I run the "wizard" tool, it asks the same thing, my inputs.

 

However this doesnt update my workflow, it just runs the app itself.

Is it possible to load my inputs and run my workflow when I run the "wizard" tool instead of me having to change items in browse and click run?

Hi @wonka1234 you need to run the workflow in debug mode it creates a temporay workflow based on the user paramaters. It's very useful when you are developing a workflow. Intrstructions can be found here.

Thank Joseph. But is there a way in my analytic app to run the workflow in designer? 

 

Ie if I fill this out and click finish, it will update my workflow behind this prompt?

The instructions I gave you a link to will first ask you to fill out those details and then got the option to open a workflow (open debug) based on those paramters and can run it in designer. The screenshot below is example of a app I made.
