Hey everybody,

For example, I have .fmw with a user parameter (with choce list) that contains all users. But user list can change: some of them can be deleted, and there can also be new ones. This list is fetchable, so at any time I can get it in txt file or any. But I want the whole proces to be automatic.

Question: Can I automatically update choice list in published parameter using other source?

Thank you for your help

That is unfortunately not easily done, at least not automatically.

You can manually import the users from your data source, however, it is pretty easy:

Has anyone solved this? I have the exact same problem (automatically update choice list in published parameter using another source). One method I could think of offhand is having a second workspace that inserts appropriate text into the .fmw file based on the other source (list of user names, for example, from a database).
