How to take input from the action run button with the lib? Is there any samples I can take a look into?

Could you share a reference to GitHub docs or perhaps a piece of YAML or a screen shot? I'm not sure if I know what you mean

I guess he means Workflow Dispatch Inputs: <https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#onworkflow_dispatchinputs|https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#onworkflow_dispatchinputs>

That's my guess too, I just want to ensure

Anyway, it looks like a candidate for a proper feature request in GH

Yes, I meant workflow dispatch. I didn't remember what it was called

<https://github.com/kotest/kotest/blob/master/.github/workflows/release_base.yml>

In Kotest we take the input version to pass it to the gradle command. I want to do the same with workflows-kt

Sure, got it - please cut a feature request :) definitely doable, I even have an idea for an API

FTR, should be possible to work around it using _customArguments

<https://github.com/typesafegithub/github-workflows-kt/issues/811>

I don't understand how to use customArguments to workaround it tho

Actually, I think the WorkflowDispatch is already supported

```workflow(
  name = "Publish",
  on = listOf(
    WorkflowDispatch(
      mapOf("RELEASE_VERSION" to Input("The release version", true, String))
    )
  ),
  sourceFile = __FILE__.toPath(),
  env = linkedMapOf(
    "OSSRH_USERNAME" to expr { OSSRH_USERNAME },
    "OSSRH_PASSWORD" to expr { OSSRH_PASSWORD },
    "ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_signingKey" to expr { ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_signingKey },
    "ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_signingPassword" to expr { ORG_GRADLE_PROJECT_signingPassword },
    "RELEASE_VERSION" to expr { github["event.inputs.version"]!! }
  )
)```

thanks, let's continue the discussion in the ticket to preserve continuity
