Hi @adityavighne ,

 

According to your statement, you have a table which is appended from multiple tables. Now you want to show your table with multiple tables' ID, Name and File Path.

As far as I know, if you want to append your tables, those tables must be loaded and export instead of show file path in Source step.

Here I have two workrounds.

1. Move all data source into one folder and than import data by Folder connector. You can combine tables by your requirement.

2. You can see file path in Source step. So remove all steps in those tables and go back to Source Step. And append those tables.
