Create Essential Graphic that prompts for a csv file

[Jarrod3106640181ee]

I work at a church and have created multiple Essential Graphic templates to input lower third text for bible passages and other quotes from individuals. I've recently created a mogrt that reads text from a CSV file so all I need to input is a "Slide" number to advance to the next slide. The hiccup I have is that if there's text to fix, I have to go back the original spreadsheet to edit, export as a CSV, then go back to AE and re-export the mogrt because the file has to be in the comp, then replace it in Premiere. Does anyone know a way I can put in an Essential Graphic input that asks for an outside file to read? This way, if I need to alter the CSV file, it's not an act of congress to fix it.

Unfortunately, there is no way of doing that

In a nutshell, you can drag your spreadsheet on the Essential Graphics Panel to make it editable in the template:
