Can you use relative file paths in the Output tool? For example, I usually have a workflow folder and an outputs folder in my projects; could I use "../Outputs/output.file" instead of "FullPathToProject/Outputs/output.file?"
Thanks in advance!

Yes you can use relative paths on outputs. It will output to the location of the workflow as the basepath or to a temporary folder if you are on the server.

@wdula ,
You can also manage the file paths between Absolute and Relative by Options > Advanced Options > Workflow Dependencies menu.
Please check the manual;

I hope this helps.

@wdula - the relative path you used in you example would work. This Knowledge Base article discusses Alteryx file paths in depth and is a great resource to refer to.
