My job needs to receive 2 input parameter from the user. Valid values of those parameters are defined by a separate script. These values can change (not able to hard code them) so I want to populate the list dynamically when the job is to be run. The picker should update according to the result of the script allowing the user to select and only then should the actual job be run with those values as input to the job

Question is how to provide a drop down like that

CodePudding user response：

Since Nov. 2021, the input type can actually be a choice list.
