Automation Workshop includes the Change Current Folder Action that overrides the default working directory. All following Actions are executed in the new folder.
File and folder operations, Zip Files, as well as FTP & Cloud Actions with an omitted path are performed in the current folder. The Use File Content feature in the Variable Wizard also respects the Task's working folder.
