Add filename to Global Form

Anonymous — Thu, 09 Apr 2020 19:54:07 GMT

We have a few rules that run on a few global forms. One of which allows a user to add iProperty data and other information needed for the file that they are using. We would like to include the file name in this form without manually entering it in. Is that possible? I've been searching for options to just show the filename at the top of the form but haven't found what I'm needing.

Hi! The form label seems to be static string only. There might be some customization you could do using VB.net code. Could you simply add a text parameter and show the file path as a read-only field?

Many thanks!

I think the text parameter would work, but I'm a novice when it comes to this, how do I add the filename to the text parameter as a read only?

Thanks!

@johnsonshiue Never mind. I understand what you're saying and got it worked out. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
