Data input from open file

hello,

version 2021.4 does not allow workflows to run if any of their input files are open.... would be great to have an option for the input tool that switches on/off the ability to read from open files. Some of my input files have frequent data changes and i tend to keep them open while testing/simulating results

 

Thank you,

abdou

Is there any update on if Alteryx has plans to address this?

This would save so much time chasing people to close files when running workflows.
