Local json file to fill "allowed values" option in Rundeck - rundeck

Question

I have a list of options in json format residing within Rundeck's server which I would like to use for filling out the "Allowed values" parameter in a new option.
The documentation states: "It must be accessible via HTTP(S) or on the local disk for the Rundeck server.", but sticking the path of the file fails the option generation and I could not see any example of it.
Would someone have an idea?
Thanks in advance

You need to use file:\ to access the file locally (at "Allowed values"), take a look at this example:
video.json file:
[
{"name":"youtube", "value":"youtube.com"},
{"name":"twitch", "value":"twitch.tv"}
]
job definition file (here how to import to your Rundeck instance for testing):
<joblist>
<job>
<context>
<options preserveOrder='true'>
<option enforcedvalues='true' name='video_service' valuesUrl='file:/path/to/video.json' />
</options>
</context>
<defaultTab>nodes</defaultTab>
<description></description>
<executionEnabled>true</executionEnabled>
<id>4be0ef08-889a-4366-ba29-0b0302fb5391</id>
<loglevel>INFO</loglevel>
<name>AllowedValues</name>
<nodeFilterEditable>false</nodeFilterEditable>
<plugins />
<scheduleEnabled>true</scheduleEnabled>
<sequence keepgoing='false' strategy='node-first'>
<command>
<exec>echo "video platform: ${option.video_service}"</exec>
</command>
</sequence>
<uuid>4be0ef08-889a-4366-ba29-0b0302fb5391</uuid>
</job>
</joblist>
Here how the job looks and here the result.
