Is there a way to see what folder a given related documents widget is connected to if it uses the "selected folder ... populated dynamically" option? There doesn't seem to be a way to see which folder it's synced to once that option has been set.
Hi Rick Anderson there is not a way to see which folder is synced at this time. You can submit a feature request for this functionality to our product team!
