Hello Everyone,

Its been long here. I don’t know if its just me but I think the new UiPath forms is a bit too complex. the previous version was simpler. I am trying to send in an array viarble i.e {“easy”,“hard”,“medium”} into a form via an input parameter. I have done this successfully , but now how do I get value selected by the form user. I do not want to hard code levels inside the form.
Thanks in advance guys

Hi @MasterOfLogic ,

It is not complex, rather it is my way or the highway!

Try these:
“Show Form” without feeding values.
Add a “Set Form Values” step and feed your values in that step.

Hi,

It’s a little bit complicated because it’s probably necessary to use Async form and event trigger as the following sample, for example.
