show folder names based on path selection

[NiranjanK1]

Hi All,

Based on dynamic path how to show folders names in analytic app

When I update various paths, it should dynamically select the subfolders names within those paths.
It works correctly when I run it manually, as it picks up the subfolder names.
However, when I execute it from the analytic app, it is shows the old path folder names.
Is there a way to ensure it dynamically retrieves the appropriate subfolders names whenever I update/change the paths?

Thanks in advance,

NR

@NiranjanK1 You will need to post a bit more context and preferably your package app to the post for help on this. You can chain apps together to allow for a user to input a file path using a text box with the location then the next app can display in a dropdown all the folder names underneath that path.

@abacon  Thanks for your reply, below is the issue im facing

@NiranjanK1 could you post the workflow/app? There should be a way but it's hard to say how without knowing what is happening in the workflow.

@abacon sorry I do not have upload option in work location.

I have not be excel file with the data, if I want to distribute I will update full path in text box, and then I will distribute which user data is ready.

one folder is working but when I enter new path it’s not picking new path sub folder user names.

Without seeing it, it's hard to say but I would look at the action tools used and if they are configured correctly. Something in your app isn't updating the desired tools.

@abacon @Sorry for my late Reply 

I have used text input tool configured to filter tool to extract sub folders from the folder.

@NiranjanK1 This is not a lot to go off of to help. If are able to upload even a screenshot of your configs that would be helpful.

There is not enough info to know this for sure. @NiranjanK1 , we don't know where you are entering the paths and what that entry point connects to. So, how can we say which element of the setup is the issue.

That being said, the most common issue that I would say this may be running into is the Interface tool you are expecting to change be connected to the wrong thing. Do you have a workflow with a Text Input connected to a filter that has an interface tool on it. And another interface tool that you are expecting to update when you change the first one? Whatever happens in that filter, WILL NOT impact any of the interface tools as they are configured before the workflow runs.

When you instantiate an app, all those Interface tools are configured. So, they will be set right then. If you then change something in one of the interface tools, nothing will change that depends on a "standard tool".
