Replacing an Inputfile

[FrederikE]

Hello,

I am creating a workflow that has optional datainputs, whenever the input is made, i want to replace the file permantly, if no input is made the standard file from the WF should be executed. 

These are just some mapping files , but I don't want the user to upload them every single time, since it's 6 different files and the change shouldn't happen often.

On Designer i can do this by replacing the file with a new file. On a Re-Run the new file is read in.

On the Gallery i run into a problem here, since I can not specify the path of the input file and the output file is therefore a completly different file.

Is there a way how i can achive this?

Hi @FrederikE 

Not exactly the solution you're hoping for, but the approach I take is to keep mapping files in a shared folder that the gallery has access to. The workflow references the folder and users can update the mappings as needed and not worry about uploading anything to the workflow.

Hey @Luke_C,

Yeah, that's what I feared would be the answer. Was hoping it would work in a less complicated way.

But thank you for your answer regardless.
