I am musing how I might create a dynamic list of items to choose in "multi data input" action.
I can read these items as variables from a config.ini file but how do I then write these variables into the "items" list in "multi data input". Why not allow variables in "items" field?
Also in the "mode" field I can set "text" or "code". What is the purpose of the code option here?
My intention is to use one *.ascr as a dashboard which can adapt dynamically. For example in different workflows to dynamically choose different sets of commands like Ansible scripts.
Set dynamic list of items in multi data input box
Re: Set dynamic list of items in multi data input box
With no solution in sight I am now running a node.js app from Actiona.
This allows me to bring up a dynamic jqueryui menu in localhost browser. All javascript.
Drawing on example here .. http://techslides.com/client-side-javascript-to-node-js.
However it would still be useful to assign variables to list items in Actiona multi data input box.
[Later edit] On reflection the preparation of embedded HTML code as in above article is too messy.
After further development I am homing in on using Electron app .. https://electronjs.org/
for my primary user interface and to call a number of Actiona scripts from the container Electron app.
This offers more flexibility.
