Trying to use File Browse interface tool in order to upload new files as needed

Hello, 

I am currently trying to design a workflow using the Alteryx Interface File Browse tool. 

In this workflow I will have four files to choose from. My goal is to create a User Interface that allows me to upload new files to this workflow as needed. 
For instance, Say I have the following four files: "File1", "File2", "File3", and "File4"

 

One day I decide I only want to update files "File1" and File3" because I don't want the data to change in "File2" or "File3". 


As of right now, when I run it as an analytic app, it asks me to input values for all 4 files every time I run it. 

How do I make it so I don't have to put a value for files I don't want to use that day? Is it possible to write these in a way that Alteryx can recognize i'm only trying to update certain files and I want the other files in the workflow to not change?

In your action tool, deselect the "Required" checkbox.
