Tenjin Ideas Portal
When new users start using flow, or I come back to it after a break, it's not always easy to know how I need to structure the data into the inputs of a flow action. For example, just recently, I forgot I need to specify a single value as an array for the Notify Tenjin Users action, and how the Data Store only accepts JSON (not a simple string).
The help and error messages are great, and usually give me the information I need, but it would be better if there were inline helpers so that I don't have to go to the help or cause errors before I know what format is expected.
In addition, I've recently seen some flow actions that have optional values, such as Query Expert Assist, but there is nothing in the flow action telling me the input is optional, it's only mentioned in the help file. I've seen other flow actions, such as ServiceNow, where defaults are entered and this (to me) seems a more obvious implementation of an optional field with a default value - it's pre-populated with the default value.
One example of inline help I've seen that is shown is in the Adaptive Card flow action; it shows me what type of data is required and that it's optional, as below. Can this be replicated elsewhere within flow?
