Form Designer read files using HTML Element Component

Help Studio
1

Hi, I’m new to the forms so not sure if this is in the right place or not, but with that said.
in Form Designer I’m using a HTML Element Component to read a text file. and display its contents using

<iframe src="/file://{{data.txtFile}}" width="100%" height="600"/>

and I want it to refresh on change,
however, this seems to hold the file open, I want it to update when the file is updated. So this element needs to only the file in read only mode then update when the file is updated. I feel like I’m missing something simple, but I can’t figure out how to make it work. any help would be greatly appreciated.
also it doesn’t have to be the HTML element Component, this is just what I thought would be best. if there is something better for this please let me know

Hey @Zarvon1

What I suggest is to go with normal UiPath approach where you send data to html content for display & logic in the Do block for file update.

Thanks for the quick reply Nithinkrishna, any chance you could show me an example of how this would work, I don’t understand how this would function.
