Dropdown list is not populated by columns from user-attached file from File Browse tool.

Hello!

Dropdown list is not being populated by columns from user-attached file from File Browse tool in Server version 2023.1.

Is this a bug on the latest version of Alteryx? Thank you!

Has this app design worked for you in older versions? I tried something similar before, and it has never worked for me, even in the older versions.

As I understand it, the Drop Down Tool loads its data as part of loading/opening the app, so it happens before your user can upload their file to the File Browse Tool.

If I really need to take the data from the user's file, I'd use Chained Apps. The first app uses the File Browse Tool to take the file from the user, and then create/update a file/database in the backend. Then, the second app has the Drop Down Tool that references that file/database.

This was actually something that always worked for us but doesn't work in the latest version of Server.

This issue is also occurring with the excel file sheet names. It's a new bug.

Any updates as to when this is expected to be fixed?
