Validate results in app on server and ask user to confirm next step

Hi!

I'm working on an app for the Gallery that will review a file a user uploads, and then present some elements from that file to the user for confirmation that the user would like to finish the process. It's a chained app, but I'm struggling with a few elements.

1. I cannot get anything to display from the results side in the Gallery (not a browse, not a temporary or permanent report file from a render tool) after the first app. I think this is a limitation of the Gallery itself from reading other posts, but wanted to confirm. 

2. I came up with the idea of having the results I wanted to share write to a temp file that I can use to update an interface tool that basically offers two choices: the first being "here are the things you are submitting, you would like to proceed" or "no that's not right don't proceed." In a perfect world each would be a radio button option, but the only tools you can update with a file are list boxes or dropdowns. Since list-boxes don't force a single choice, at the moment I'm stuck with a dropdown which just doesn't look good. Does anyone out there have any better ideas?

 

Thanks!

So I haven't had a bunch of time to dive into the workflow, but it doesn't run as shared. I see that your action tool only is supposed to replace the text "URL" rather than your personal file path. I don't understand the need for the dynamic input either, but I will look more closely.

So tried it again and even with tweaks I can't get the app to actually work, so I'm unable to see the solution you offered. Thanks for trying!
