I’m trying to use a Bootbox Prompt to get an email address. I can get the prompt showing correctly, but how to I get the value entered so I can send it to a server connect?
Figured it out. You can’t get the value of a prompt in an inline flow, only in a page flow.
That does make me wonder, however, what is the purpose of Prompt in an inline flow?
I've just hit exactly this issue. Spent a while trying to get the value from a prompt but without success.
Please explain what exactly are you trying to do and what do you have on your page?
I followed @Heather_Mann's solution and created a Page Flow instead.
I have a facility to send emails out to a group and used an inline flow to show a confim dialog first. I wanted to insert a prompt to allow additional content to be added to the email but I just couldn't get the value of the entered text (a textarea in this case) so searched this community to get the answer and found this thread.
So I've created a Page Flow and call that instead of an inline flow (actually a tidier solution anyway so will do this more in future) and it works fine. But it would be helpful to remove the Prompt Bootbox option from within inline flows to avoid this confusion. Or improve it so that the value can be used like it is in a Page Flow.
Hope all that explains it.
Known issue, george is supposed to be looking into it.
