When I run this as an action I get only the last value I entered. But the documentation says that it should be getting a default value (since I used "with default “”). Does this seem right? Bug?
action parameter query "serialnum" with description "Enter a serial number to manually assign it to this asset: " and with default "SerialNum"
Can someone else try this prompt and see if you get the same results?
Thanks.

From the documentation. You are missing “value”. e.g.:
action parameter query "Registry key" with description "Please enter your desired registry key" and with default value "null"I tried it with both value and without. No difference. Documentation says it doesn’t need it. Should have included that in the original post. This still returns whatever I entered in the previous time the action was run.
action parameter query "serialnum" with description "Enter a serial number to manually assign it to this asset: " and with default value "SerialNum"
action parameter query "serialnum" with description "Enter a serial number to manually assign it to this asset: " and with default "SerialNum"
But I did find that if I erase the value in the pop-up, click OK, then quit the action creation. The next time I run the action with the prompt it does give me the default values. So it looks like the default values are only there if the pop-up has never been displayed before.
Is there a way to override this functionality and have the default value appear every time?
@ctan Did you find a solution to this? I’m seeing the same issue on 9.5.11, here in February 2019.
The reported behavior is the designed one.
The last specified value gets written in the string value named “_BESClient_EMsg_Detail” of registry key “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\BigFix\Enterprise Console\ActionParameterCache\ BESServerHOST\BES Support”
As far as I know, there is no way to override this behavior.
