Update value (Using Action tool) from result of formula tool

I have a small part of the workflow that returns a list of projects. The result is formatted as a IN statement for SQL ('123456','234567').

 I want to user that as a source to update a second SQL input. Meaning "A.Field = ('789456'), and I would update ('789456') with the result of the first part.

I can technically do it by formatting it in such a way that I can interface using the dropdown tool, but I don't want to have a prompt on the app. I just want to have it updated directly. 

 

Hopefully this is enough information to have an answer. Let me know if further detail is needed.

Hi @AudieCruz 

 

This sounds like a job for the Dynamic Input tool.

 

Have a look at configuring it to update the where clause with your list of IDs.

Hope this helps!
