Hi, I’m trying to create the ability to look a different txt files to achieve different tasks to populate data in a model. I have a code with embedded data stored in a dropdown list. I’ve been doing some simple tests and able to read an external txt file in the dropdown list as pictured. I’m looking for a method to be able for the user to select the txt file from a selected file path and push the file path to the dropdown list. I’ve tried various methods now, any assistance would be helpful.
