Action Parameter Query questions

Hi all - sort of a compound question here regarding “action parameter query”.

  1. Is there a way to add line breaks? If my “descripton” is long, it just line breaks automatically, and it’d be nice to force line breaks or newlines.

  2. I ultimately, in this case, simply want a popup that tells the user something before they run the fixlet. Using “action parameter query” works, but feels wrong, since it is ultimately intended to be used to fetch information. In this use case I have “action parameter query etc” and then don’t use the parameter later (or even need one) so it just seems like a hacky way to do it.

Thanks!!

I don’t have an answer for the line break, but I just have multiple action parameter queries one after another. Each query may be a short question or comment for the user before they run the fixlet.

Sometimes the simple answers are the best ones. That’s actually a really good idea - to have multiple of the queries :slight_smile:

Looks like you can use %0a to add a line feed to the message

action parameter query "Question" with description "Line 1%0aLine 2%0aLine 3" with default "DEFAULT_TEXT"

Great info @SLB - that worked great. Didn’t even think of using UTF-8 characters. Thank you!!
