Hello!
I'm stuck on quite a tricky one. My use-case is that I want users to be able to select a folder for files to be brought in - similar to the directory tool. I had found this from @tlarsen7572's response to this question. This allowed me to create the tool to look like this:
My next steps are that I want the listbox to be populated with all the files collected from that directory, and allow users to select which they want to proceed with for the next part of the tool (the next macro).
As javascript wont allow for reading all files from a folder from the client, I think I need to run my first supporting workflow to generate this data:
My issue here is twofold:
1) I'm not fully sure I can use a workflow to generate data for elements of the configuration window
2) I'm not fully sure how to retrieve that data, when it is returned from the output, to display as part of my list box, as the Alteryx documentation does not seem to have a viable datatype for this.
And I am struggling to find anything similar through the Alteryx community or through the SDK documentation.
Any help on this one would be massively appreciated!
