Most actions include input parameters that need configuration. Each input has a name, description, and data type. Some inputs include default values provided by the action.
Input fields can be either static or dynamic, depending on the data type and action configuration.
Dynamic fields
You can use dynamic input fields to reference values such as pipeline parameters or outputs from previous steps.
If you reference a pipeline parameter, you can allow users or automation tools to provide inputs at runtime. If you reference an output from a previous step, you can use values such as file paths or data that isn’t known in advance.
You can also enter static values, such as, text or numbers into a dynamic field. For input types, such as, String, you can combine static values and dynamic references.
To add values to a dynamic input field:
- Select the step in the pipeline builder.
- In the Step Parameters tab, select the Inputs section.
- Select a input field. A drop down menu appears.
- Choose a pipeline parameter or output from a previous step. The reference is inserted into the input.
- Repeat as needed.
注意
If you delete a pipeline parameter or step, you also affect any inputs that reference the deleted parameter or step.
Static fields
Some inputs are static by default, depending on their type and the action’s configuration. For example, fields with Integer, Float, or Boolean types are typically static. Some static fields also include dropdowns with predefined options.
If you want a static field to reference dynamic content like a pipeline parameter, you can switch it to a dynamic field.
To change a static field to dynamic:
- In the Step Parameters tab, select the Inputs section.
- Select the dropdown button next to the lightning icon.
- Select Enter a dynamic value from the menu.
The field switches to dynamic mode.
