Input One file Browse for 2 of the same inputs

NRD

Hello,

 

Does anyone know if it is possible to only have 1 file browse to call more than one instance of the same input?

 

I have one source file that appears twice in the workflow. I would like the user only to have to choose this file once in the UI instead of having to choose it twice since there are two instances of the same input tool in the workflow.

 

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi @NRD 

 

Yes, just add two input tools and connect that single file browse tool to both of them.

This duplicates the instances in the UI though.

That shouldn't be the case.

 

You`re going to use a single File Browse Tool and two action tools, something like this.

That should generate you just a single interface prompt.

@Thableaus  Yes, thank you! I had it configured incorrectly originally.
