Add input arguments to "Execute Action"/"Include Action" steps

[Apple]

Can we add a grid control to Execute/Include Action steps to pass input arguments? Not always we want to get from $_GET or whatever. This way it would be easier to build re-usable functions.

I would also recommend storing such input data inside $_INPUT, just like $_GET, $_POST, etc…

For those wondering what’s a grid control, take a look at “Data”:

In my opinion, this allows for better assurances when including/executing actions, as well as facilitate sharing as $_GET/$_POST values may be different for different websites made by different users, so Library snippets are not easily shareable

Inspired by @JonL:

Custom functions

One thing that bubble gets right is facilitating the use of custom functions and making the result available for further use within Bubble’s workflow Functions are made up of three main elements as you all know: input, logic and output. Would it make sense to implement a server action and a client component that facilitates this? In both options you would select the input type, input data and the output type. Then in App Connect you would be able to define a custom JS file and in Server conn…

Include does not take any inputs. Please read docs on how it works.

Execute does have a input, but you need to configure it in $_PARAM of library action.

You could modify this request to ask for a way to setup params in a manner that a grid would show up in the exec step.

Oh, I feel dumb now Rookie mistake, not checking the documentation

I think I’m going to let this sink in, don’t want to bother the team with such low priority request. Thanks for your reply
