How top open a folder dialog in web client?

OrangePie

Hello guys,
I'm moving old functionality to BC15 and I've run into a problem. The user is required to choose a folder path, yet it doesn't seem possible in the latest release of BC. I used the BrowseForFolderDialog procedure from File Management codeunit but it throws me a dotnet operability error. I set the Target in App.json to OnPremise but to no avail. Have you got any idea how to deal with this issue?

Use Upload of Uploadintostream

@SanderDk thank you for your time but this does not answer my question. I need to select the path to a folder, not a file. Is it possible at all?

What are you actually trying to accomplish? What are you prompting for? Is this OnPrem or SaaS?

@kylehardin I want the user to be able to select the file's destination folder. There's a form and by the use of assist edit the user will select a folder to which they want to save the file. This is OnPrem but as I said the availible functions don't work.

I am running BC15 in local docker container (and a customer site) and it works for me. You already tried changing app.json to

"target": "OnPrem",
