Allow Input data tools to use Environmental Paths

'%userprofile%\documents' in file explorer will return 'C:\Users\username\Documents' It would be very useful if Alteryx would allow the %Path% syntax. When using One Drive or SharePoint often the user name has to come first which if you are sharing workflows will be different every time. This would solve this problem very cleanly.

agree with you @IraWatt - another handy one is %OneDrive% and that gets you often to the user's home drive.

Great idea - more flexibility is always good.
