Hi, as in topic, is it possible to update the parts of code (yellow) via action tool ?

Hi @Wojtek_Dz 

 

I suggest you to update a text input tool, and import this cell inside of the python tool. Its a better option, because you can isolate exactly the field that you want to update without any more complications. I use this method a lot and it works fine.

I agree 100% with@Felipe_Ribeir0  - I have no issue with updating the R in the R tool but the nature of how Python runs on Designer allows for bleed and weird issues where it's not fully stable. I've seen the action tool work - and the action tool not work - with the same config when changing Python code parameters directly.
