How to browse for source data when opening a Power Bi Template File

[Ahmedelshark]

Hello,

I have created a Power Bi Template and I would like the user to be able to browse for file location when prompted to choose a data source. The screenshot attached shows the prompt that a user gets when he open the pbit - currently, a user needs to paste the file path location of the data source (in this case, a static Excel spreadsheet) under 'Metric-Specific Filepath'. 

Is there a way to allow the user to browse for the data source file instead? Copy pasting the filepath is not too user friendly. 

Thank you in advance.

This is not a solution to the original question

I think I have the same question.  I have a parameter set-up to specify the path to a source file; there are several files that have the same structure but various data and locations.  Currently, when I run to open the template (ok, the dupicate that Windows makes for me), the parameter dialog box appears and prompts me to enter the path.  I would like to BROWSE to the path, with a Browse button.

I think this question is marked as having a solution, but it does not.
