I've encountered the situation many times when I'm working on a flow and I want to tweak the sample file data used by an FTP export. I know I supplied a sample file to the export because I see the data in previews, but now I don't know where that file is. IIO has it, but I can't. get. to. it... it would be great if we could download or edit the sample files that are safely inside those export bubbles.

Also, it seems to always say "No file chosen", no matter if there is a file or not. Would be helpful to see the filename that was supplied. It shows it when you upload, but after saving and re-accessing the bubble it's back to "No file chose"

Hi Steve, you can get to the sample data using the API for FTP exports:

 ![5301043caa20740200000001-fcc4ba353e524ede8fb29c854077b358.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/celigo/original/2X/6/6da471f182c215eed8deb6a83ae9140ba077f2a5.png)

But I agree, would be nice to be able to edit/set this from the UI, also for example for exports that dont always have example data returned by the endpoint.

Steve, thanks for the idea! It would be great if you could submit it on [the Product portal](http://docs.celigo.com/hc/en-us/articles/6524823504411-See-what-s-coming-and-submit-ideas-in-the-Product-portal) in integrator.io. (All feature/enhancement requests should now be entered in the Product portal in integrator.io.)

Hi Anitha,

I looked at the portal and voted for a couple things... I tried to add an idea but was disappointed to see there is no formatting and no way to attach an image. Is there a plan to improve this system?

Hi Bas,

Thanks for the reminder on the power of the IIO APIs!

Hi @steveklett,

Thanks for sharing this experience. I've shared your portal feedback with Katarina, who's in charge of this third-party tool (ProductBoard) - since it is a third-party, I'm not sure what we can do here, but we will let you know if we're able to make this a better experience for you!
