Multiple PDFs Saved to Source File Locations

We have a single PDF task whose Scope is set to "File" with a wildcard so that it will go into each subfolder on ACC (Arch, Mech, Elec, Struct, Plumb, etc.) and print the predefined Print Set. We want the resulting PDFs to end up next to the source models they originated from on the ACC hub. The Post Action BIM 360/ACC upload will only send it to a single folder. We would rather not create a discreet task for each discipline (x7). Are there other task options we are missing?

In 2026, the BIM360 Upload task can use metadata values to create dynamic subfolders for the delivered location of the files. I believe this could be used to achieve what you want?

I was looking at that option but could not figure out what syntax to use.  The PDFs would go into their respective folders where the source Revit model exists for each.  See example below.  The wildcard in the task is at the "UB14" folder.


Project Files\CBM\Utility Buildings\UB14\*

So I read this description marked in the screenshot below as Clarity saying "I'm going to save the PDFs in the same locations that I found the source Revit models in."  But it doesn't actually do that.  The previous tab, Folder Select, still overrides that even when you have "Use Dynamic Subfolders" checked.  Can you clarify what this option actually does?

Can you provide the correct metadata syntax to use in order to achieve this?
