Hi,
I am using directory tool for importing different files with same names but for some files, schema is different. (I have attached snips of data type of different files).
I have also attached my working snip. I am getting error at Dynamic input tool for different schema.

Please provide me solution for the same.

Thanks in advance.

Keeping this link handy <3  The amount of times this comes up as a question I'm surprised it isn't a tool by now 😅
