Multi-step function block inputs missing params

bobthebear · February 20, 2025, 6:57pm

originally the linter was unable to find 'params' and it was labeled a warning. After I disconnected the block and reconnected it the warning went away, but the Inputs window doesn't list params like it would for startTrigger. Not sure if it's a bug or meant to be that way, but it seems like params should work the same as startTrigger since it has the blue lightning bolt symbol matching the trigger?

Hi @bobthebear,

You mentioned that "the Inputs window doesn't list params like it would for startTrigger", could you elaborate more on this?

Are you saying that in your codeblock 'storeThreadAndMessage' that you are not able to grab data from params.anything?

No, I am able to grab params.anything, but visually params doesn't display like startTrigger in the Inputs pane at the bottom of the block

Sure, it might be easier to understand what I mean with a side-by-side comparison of startTrigger and params:

Ahhhhh I see, thank you so much for the screenshots and illustrations!

I agree, there should be parity and the 'params' block should have its data appear in the follow blocks 'Inputs' section.

I can make a feature request for this right now! Thanks for finding this
