Open File with Prompt from Dashboard Button

Hello,

I have created a button that opens a Book from File Explorer. This particular book requires prompts to run correctly, but when running the Book from the button, it skips the prompt dialog and runs with errors.

Is there a way to have the button ask for the prompts before running the book?

Thanks!

    I am also trying to figure this out and would love to see if there is a solution. I tried using a data management sequence to "export file," but it doesn't open the file after loading.

    I found a way that works for me:

    I created a File Viewer component that links to the file. Then I added the File Viewer component to its own Dashboard. The button is then set to Open Page and opens the Dashboard.

    This processes and opens the file successfully. It prompts as expected for the desired flexibility.

    Hopefully that's helpful!
