My Input Data Tool is no longer filling in options form the file path?

I recently installed Alteryx on a new computer and am having a problem with my input data tool. Previously when I started to fill in a file path I could key down and see all of the potential options which was particularly helpful in selecting a specific file as I wouldn't have to drag/drop it or write out itself full name. Since I've re-downloaded on my new machine however, I am not seeing this option and am therefore having to write out full file names and/or drag/drop the file itself. Is there a way that I can fix this through the settings? From what I recall on my original version didn't need to be configured

Hi @MatthewSeay 

 

With the new update, it changed the layout of the Input Date Tool. Select the 'Set Up a Connection' option, which replaced the button arrow before.
