alfredclough Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Here's what I want to do: User selects an option in a script filter. That passes them to a second step which is a list filter where they can make a choice and optionally enter a second argument. In my case what I want to do is let someone enter a search parameter in that second step. So the second step is a list filter that gives them three choices: search, search in a new window, search in a new tab and allows them to enter a search parameter. My problem is that anytime you enter an argument in a list filter it filters the options if that makes sense, but what I want to do is let someone enter a parameter that is passed along the workflow but have a choice of how to action that parameter. I realize I could easily do this by using modifiers (shift, fn, etc) but I'd rather make it more obvious by picking the option out from a list. I haven't created it yet or I would attach the workflow--I'm looking for input on how to do this. Link to comment
vitor Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Between the Script and List Filters, set up an Argument and Variables Utility and save the argument to a variable. You’ll be able to call that variable again later in the Workflow. Link to comment
alfredclough Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Right--My question is how I can capture an argument at the same time as giving the user three selections to choose between in one step. Link to comment
vitor Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 You can’t capture arbitrary queries from a List Filter. If you want to do that, it needs to be a Script Filter (so you’ll have two in a row). Link to comment
alfredclough Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Playing around more with Script filter looks like it will work. I think I can capture the input plus set a variable for which option a user clicked so I should be able to do it all in one step. Link to comment
