Hi,
I was wondering if is possible to pass runtime values to workflows thought the API? I want to run the same workflow for several inputs, but there are values other than the inputs that I need to change for each run. Is it possible to leave these values as 'To be set at runtime' and set them through the API?
Also, I see 'Step Actions' do not support the option of 'To be set at runtime', could this be included in a future release, in other words, can this be a feature request?
Thanks, Carlos

Not yet, though this is something I've wanted to add for a while now.

Which step actions would this be appropriate for? The rename action can accept a workflow parameter which would provide runtime naming functionality.

Great, I'll be looking forward this functionality.

If I recall correctly during a recent email exchange[1], you commented this is only something that it is in the wish list. Maybe I confused the feature in my previous email. Is it possible to use workflows parameter in the rename action? If so, please could you comment on how can I do it?.
And yes, you are correct, I can't think of any cases where using a workflow parameter wouldn't solve my needs for a renaming edit action, still exposing these values to the API via runtime functionality, I think it would gives even more freedom. Not a priority for sure.
Either way, exposing runtime values to the API with edit actions using workflows parameters or both workflows parameters and edit actions being able to be set at runtime with these values exposed to API, would solves my current needs.

Thanks a lot for all your effort, Carlos
You're absolutely right, sorry, I did misread your email as two separate issues. Workflow parameters are currently unavailable via the API.
Instead of making actions settable at runtime and directly available through the API, I will probably implement parameters via API as the path forward here.
Thanks for all your interest!
