12 - Using Multipass properties in parameters

📖 Task Introduction

Recall that parameters are items that must be provided (e.g., by the action taker via the action form) to the action service. In this Action, we want the user to choose an assignee from existing Foundry users only—we don’t want a free text entry.

🔨 Task Instructions

1. Click Form on the menu on the left.

2. Status was added as a parameter by default when we set it as a property to modify. However, we updated it to take a static value, so a parameter is not needed.

   1. Mouse over it in the Form Content list and click on Status.
   2. Once Status is opened you can click on the bin on the top right of the center panel. This removes it from the form, but the static value Assigned will still be passed in when the action is taken.

3. Click the Assignee parameter from the list to open its configuration.

4. In the second block, choose User. This restricts the available input values to just Foundry users—free text will not be permitted.

You could further restrict the list of available assignees by adding a Foundry Multipass group in the Only allow users in any of the following groups field, but that's not a necessary step in this exercise.
