What's the best way to distinguish or initialize 2 different files in a WF run?

Mitch Dale

Hey @Product,

I have a WF where I'm extracting 2 different CSV files from a web browser, and then I'm querying them downstream in different places. Is there a way I can "initialize" a file type variable in the data library so that I can specifically reference it when using a WA that has a file input?

If I'm not mistaken, I can't use a copy content to initialize a file with a unique name, so I'm not sure what I should do here

You can use copy content to save a file with a new name. That should work for your use case. You just add the file data library item into the blob field and then add a fields to capture with data type file

Thanks @Nick, copy content for files fails when doing it through WA testing, hence my confusion. But you're correct, it does work in an actual WF launch

That's very interesting. I didn't know that. Thank you.
