I have a user parameter that I use when writing out the file in Form ("$(ProjectID) Report.xlsx"). This works as I want when running in Form, but not when I publish it to Flow. The parameter doesn’t get set a part of the filename (_Report.xlsx).

Any ideas what I need to do differently to get the same filename in Flow that I get in Form?

The dataset for the writer, include path and filename. Typically you use UNC windows path.

Flow will likely enclose the dataset path automatically, so if you have double quotes around the filename only, you may want to remove them for use in Flow

 

Also consider using the Server\Flow parameters in your dataset path, to the ‘Shared Resource’ folders like Data https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407488791821-FME-Server-Resources-Uploading-Referencing-and-Configuration
