    Hi! Is it possible to have tap forms create a new folder in finder named using data from tap forms fields?

    I would love to click a button in Tap Forms that would then create a new folder with a LastName_FirstName, then another folder inside with OrderNumber, Equipment Folder 1, Equipment Folder 2.

    Thanks for helping me find out if this is possible via Apple Script or another method :)

    Hi James,

    There’s no function in Tap Forms to write to the file system from a script. But adding write ability is something I’d like to do at some point.

    Although you can post to a web service, so maybe if you had some web service running on your Mac you could have that service write to the file system after receiving data from Tap Forms.

    Thanks,

    Brendan
