We often want to prompt the user for data input and it would be great to have a function similar to the Prompt macro command that allows data to be entered.  This could either be a new command or an extension to the existing prompt command with additional optional parameters

The following would be great for a PromptInput command...

• Have option to have multiple buttons (same as Prompt command)
• Have option to specify the Prompt Text
• Have option to specify @STORE variable that the result of the input will be written to
• Have option to specify a Data Type (defaulting to String) of the EditText provided to input data into thereby allowing either String, Date or Numeric data to be entered

This prompt would ideally be Modal to allow sequential processing in the same manner as the Prompt command.

  Probably will not solve 100% your requests, but have you tried the VARIABLES in the MACRO Universal Funcion?

  Hi Tacio,

  I hadn't...In this case it worked perfectly for what I required; thanks for the tip.

  Cheers,

  As Tacio mentioned, this is already possible using B1UP Macro Variables: https://help.boyum-it.com/B1UP/macro-variables.html
