workflow_dispach to have dynamic inputs parameters

[kevincobain2000]

Thank you for introducing the workflow_dispatch for manual jobs.

It'd be good to have dynamic input parameters so that with one job.yml, we can present just one form input to the operator.
For example, on select choices <stg, prod>, we can hide/show/change the other options, before the operator clicks the Run Workflow.

Yes, GitHub action inputs really need this! Almost crucial for any CICD platform to avoid errors from operators who perform manual jobs on a frequent basis. Please get this feature in ASAP!

Can you update us on this feature request? A priority or progress update would be good. It's very popular. See also https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/12029

@ethomson no pressure but is this really in the backlog?

[jsoref]

Fwiw, he's no longer @github

[bakoontz2]

It's not like anyone @microsoft @github is actually listening anyways...

I'd love a dynamic input, let me run some scripts to build a list.
For example let me run a script to build a choice parameter that lets me pick a version I want to deploy

[al1076954]

That's exactly the use case I was dealing with.

[martingleria]

Did you get any progress @al1076954 ? I´m dealing with it now.

[al1076954]

oh sorry, let me create a Gist today and share it with you guys

[al1076954]

I created this Gist, have a look on it : Dynamic Manual Workflow

[kchahal-avaya]

Hi, is there any update on this because I need to implement it now in my current requirement or any workarounds for how to pass a variable as inputs would be very helpful.

Plus One for this. In my companies work we add deployment environments and want to be able to allow the person running the action to select the environment to deploy to. Right now that means modifying every workflow to add the additional environment to the workflow_dispatch inputs.

Environment selection is already available

type: environment
description: Select the environment

Is there any update here @github? i am seeing many +1 but no reaction from team github here.
I would say this is a really interesting feature which will solve a lot of different issues for many people.

[nebuk89]

Hey! Sorry no updates here yet :( We are hoping that from the start of April we can group up a bunch of workflow_dispatch items and burn down a few of them together before the end of June.

Sorry I don't have a better update than that right now, this is on our mind and workflow_dispatch is an area that clearly needs some love, we are trying to get to it soon

[kevincobain2000]

Nice. Thanks for your response

[farukoguz]

+1 to these feature

[tonytromp02]

+1 its 2025 and GH Actions start to feel like its 2020 already

[BenCoughlan15]

This seems like such a basic feature to ask for. :/
