I need to generate a text file and then update the extension to something else (a special extension) before I copy it to a file system. Is there a way to accomplish this without creating a custom function/smart service?

I don't think there is a way to this kind of activity. We need custom smart service to do this. Changing an extension is nothing but changing the file type. For this, you need to build a custom expression to achieve this activity.

If you know the file extension ahead of time, you can set up a template that has that file extension and then use in the Text from Template smart service.

I do know the extension ahead of time, so that will work. For some reason I didn't think that smart service would accept a template with a non .txt extension. Thanks!!
