@allwynbazil Make sure your input file and workflow are saved in the same folder. Then you can update the path ".\inputfile name"

Hi @allwynbazil 

 

Point 1: If you remove the path, it will not work during run.

Point 2: Even if you share the file with existing path, it will not work in counterpart system as the file path will be different

Point 3: The same path will work if you link to shared path if you are working in same team

Hi @allwynbazil 

 

As a workaround solution, you can replace with mocked data replaced in the Text Input tool.

 

So it will help the counterpart to run the workflow without issue.

Thanks @binuacs. Will it run if I share the WF with the users without the file path?

Hi @allwynbazil 

 

Yes, the workflow will work as long as they save the workflow and the input files in the same folder/path.

 

Hope you will share the input files too or they might already have.

Hi @allwynbazil 

 

Please find the use case below tested.

 

Workflow and the input file moved to another folder.
