Configure a File Picker input in UiPath Assistant

Help Assistant
1

Hi everyone

I’m trying to create a UiPath process that allows the user to pick a file from their system when they run the process from UiPath Assistant.

I’m using Modern Studio and I saw that in the Input Arguments panel, there’s an option to configure “Assistant Control” (like text box, number field, toggle, date picker, etc.).

But I couldn’t find how to set a File Picker control type — so the user can browse and select a file instead of typing the file path manually.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

  • I added an argument filePath (Direction: In, Type: String)
  • Set Assistant Control to “Text Box” → works, but user must type the path manually.
  • Tried searching for “File Picker” or “File Browser” options, but not found.

Question:

How can I configure a File Picker input in UiPath Assistant so the user can browse and select a file when running the process?

Also, is it possible to limit the selection to a specific file type (like .csv or .xlsx)?

Welcome to the community

currently on these are supported Assistant - Automation Configuration

you can use browse for file which will give the option to select while running Activities - Browse for File

@Ponnu_Rangasamy,

Use Browse For File activity like this. Here you will get the file selected by user in Selected file path variable.

You can modify the files you want from Filter property.
