Reading .xml file using interface tool

[Probal]

Hi All,

The input to my workflow is an .xml file which I have read in as a delimited file and was able to parse it successfully. 

However, while trying to build an app, which takes the .xml file as an input from users (using interface tool), the underlying configuration is being over-ridden when Alteryx is encountering the .xml file. 

Can you please help me in resolving this issue?

Can you show a screen shot of your configurations of the input tool, interface tool, and action tool?

I have read the .xml file in .csv format. I have attached a screenshot of the input tool configuration. The interface and input tool is set to default configuration

This solution won't hold true for me as I am reading the .xml file as .csv in order to extract the desired data. Reading it as .xml won't fetch me the required data from the files.

Need to see the configuration of both the question tool you're using and the action tool.  I suspect you have the default listed for the action tool which will overwrite the input file to whatever it is, and if it's XML it will recognize it as such.  You'll probably have to use the formula tool to update it so it leaves the config as-is.  But I'm not sure.
