Hi All I am seeking help from the community as I have created an input form with the help of data-shapes UI nodes and would like to run another script from the file path after clicking the submit button in the form. I am looking forward to hearing soon. Best Ravi ---

@ravishankar.unipune , can you share some screenshots at least? …sounds like a [pyRevit](https://discourse.pyrevitlabs.io/) Solution KR Andreas ---

Going to need dynamo api to do that I’d say - beyond my knowledge. If youre at the point of needing scripts to run scripts then definitely sounds like it is time to look into more advanced solutions like [pyrevit](https://discourse.pyrevitlabs.io/) or C# to develop toolkits. Generally more polite to let the forum assist with these willingly vs tag the regulars onto your threads. ---

I recommend you don’t over complicate it. Take the second graph and convert it into a custom node with a static input to prevent execution until the first portion of the graph finishes. ---

Perhaps the Dynamo Command Line Interface might help you: > [@How to run a Dynamo Graph in the background / How to use the Dynamo Command Line Interface](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/how-to-run-a-dynamo-graph-in-the-background-how-to-use-the-dynamo-command-line-interface/74025): > > Hi everyone, I often use the Dynamo Sandbox environment because then I don’t have to open a host application, which saves time and resources. One disadvantage I always had with this was that I couldn’t run scripts without having to open my Dynamo Graphs itself, like the Dynamo Player. In my quest to reduce my number of clicks, effort & time, I came across a very handy feature of Dynamo that many people probably do not (yet) know. At least I didn’t! smiley : The Dynamo Command Line Interface … ---

No problems. Generally we don’t mind being tagged that much, I think it is just better to include the wider forum in the people the post is visually open to 🙂 ---

In the case you need run in backgound and intergrate with add-in, with `temppath` is your dynamo script: ```auto DynamoRevit dynamoRevit = new DynamoRevit(); IDictionary journalData = new Dictionary { {JournalKeys.ShowUiKey, false.ToString()}, {JournalKeys.AutomationModeKey, true.ToString()}, {JournalKeys.DynPathKey, temppath}, {JournalKeys.DynPathExecuteKey, true.ToString()}, {JournalKeys.ForceManualRunKey, false.ToString()}, {JournalKeys.ModelShutDownKey, true.ToString()}, {JournalKeys.ModelNodesInfo, false.ToString()}, }; DynamoRevitCommandData dynamoRevitCommandData = new DynamoRevitCommandData { Application = commandData.Application, JournalData = journalData }; Result result = dynamoRevit.ExecuteCommand(dynamoRevitCommandData); ``` ---

@chuongmep that’s actually quite cool! I am not really sure what I might use it for, but why not 🙂 ---

Hi Jacob! I did you recommendation, however I don’t know what you mean by static input? For my case I used Thread.Pause node and gave every chunk of the script its own waiting time in milliseconds, but I still have a persisting problem. Here is the link of my post: > [@Applying view templates twice to same view in 1 script](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/applying-view-templates-twice-to-same-view-in-1-script/100396): > > Dear all, I have coded a script that applies view template to certain chosen views divided into two main sectors: the first row applies a certain viewtemplate to the views, the second row of the script applies another viewtemplate to the same views.
