Hi @garretwalters12 @Alteryx_Geek 

 

Using this works for me:

(*.txt)|*.txt|(*.TXT)|*.TXT

@Luke_C - THanks Luke. but it is not working when publishing on gallery and then when trying to run from gallery it says "not a known format"

@Alteryx_Geek Forgot a key part of this - what's your action tool doing? Make sure it's updating the file value and not replacing a specific string or set to the update input tool default.

Hi @Alteryx_Geek 

 

Folder Browse is not supported on the gallery. Check out this link for the workaround
