Directory Creation Tooling

Status: Not Planned Submitted by 17 - Castor on ‎05-13-2019 12:16 PM

Every time we create a file output - you first have to check if the folder exists - and if not then create it.

 

Currently it's quite onerous to do a directory create - especially with all the error trapping to make this production safe - and everyone is reinventing the wheel in their own companies.

 

Given the commonality of this need - could we add a tool that allows you to check for existance of a directory and attempt to create it (with nested directories and useful status / error descriptions to act upon)

Thank you for your feedback!

 

After a thorough review, our product team has determined that while they would like to consider this functionality for a possible Output Tool update in the future, we do not have any plans to create a new tool for this functionality. However, should this change we'll be sure to update this idea back to the status Under Review.
