I know that a single text input defaults the output to "value".

What I don't know is how to create multiple text input dialogs in the same flow and have that data go where I want it to. If I could find an example flow that does this, I'd reverse engineer it to figure out how to do what I want. I'm sure it's pretty simple, but I'm not a programmer. So any assistance would be appreciated.

Basically, I want to create a flow that does this:

1. Ask user the quantity of an item (value 1)
- user inputs value 1

2. Ask user the measurement of that value (gallons, calories, whatever) (value 2)
- user inputs value 2

3. Ask user for additional notes (value 3)
- user inputs value 3

From there, I will output value 1, value 2, and value 3 to a file (in this case, I append those values to a google spreadsheet).

This is the simple version of what I want to do.

...

Eventually, I want to create a more advanced version of this flow where:

A. The input for value 1 defaults to numeric input (for a quantity)
B. The input for value 2 is a multiple choice input (various measurements)

But I can probably figure those out. I'm mainly just trying to figure out how to input/output multiple text input values in the same flow.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

You can use an action Script to assign the value to another variable. The flow could look like this:

...
-action Input Dialog: ...
-action Script: quantity = value;
-action Input Dialog: ...
-action Script: unit = value;
-action Input Dialog: ...
-action Script: notes = value;
-action Notification on Screen: {quantity} {unit} {notes}

Thank you so much! With your help, I was able to piece together a flow that I'm happy with.

I'm linking to a modified version below (I tried attaching the flow but it got rejected). It's nothing special, but it might be a good for reference for anyone who ends up finding this thread looking for help.

[My version of the flow uses an HTTP POST command to append the data to individual columns of a google sheet.]
