Macro: Update Interface Designer dynamically

Hello,

 

Is there a way to update the field: "On Success - Run another analytic app" within a macro dynamically?

 

I am trying to make a macro that can update this field based on a user input.

 

 

 

Thanks for any help.

Hi @ZJames 

 

There's no easy way to do this.  

 

Alteryx Interface tools are designed to act on the configuration of Alteryx tools.  Since the "Run Another Analytic App" setting is stored in the workflow configuration and not a tool configuration, there's no mechanism for an interface tool to access it.  

 

You can accomplish something equivalent by embedding the second level workflows in containers in the first workflow.  Use radio buttons to select which container will be active after the first part of the workflow runs
