What am I doing wrong? File Browse -> Input in Gallery

I can't figure out what the problem is here, but I have some Input Data tools with File Browse update actions attached.

When I run the workflow from the gallery, the workflow is not updating/using the file(s) selected by the user. It's only using the "Assets" included in the workflow. 

What am I missing?

Can you share a copy of the workflow? If not, can you share the action tool configuration with a screenshot?

I've tried a couple methods, but most recently I'm just using the default update action "Update input data tool"

Honesty, how you currently have it configured should work. Try publishing to the gallery under a different name and checking that workflow and see if it works. (Just want to rule out the possibly of using an older version)

 

I just put together a simple test and it works fine on my gallery: Nothing special required:

I was even able to push completely unrelated data through my test file and it came back with this new data in the result.

Thank you @csmith11. I think I finally got it to work.

Even though I had tried changing the update action type, I missed this checkbox (forgot about it and/or assumed it would be a default). Now that it's checked, it seems to be working properly.
