    Hello!

    Great macro! Is there a way to have the Python pull the XML from all the unpackaged Alteryx files? It picks up the first workflow, but ignores the others. I would like to have all the unpackaged files have the XML included.

    @shawnmacnova21 The following article with included workflows should be useful to you, as it allows you to download all workflows from the Server as .yxzps, unzips them, and searches the XML of each to return the queried information.

    We have our Alteryx on 2024.1 version which has 3.10 version of python, would be great if you have any macro similarly which can support 3.10 version.
