How do I update an input form?

Purpose

Use this procedure to configure the UI form for executing the workflow.

The required input is configured in the workflow’s YAML definition; see What does a workflow look like?. For example, the workflow may require a username to be entered.

When the workflow is manually executed, the Create Execution form has two panels: General and Input and Parameters. The input form defines the appearance of the fields in the Input and Parameters panel. For example, the input form defines the width of the username field, and whether the field for the next parameter appears on a new line in the form. You can use the JSON schema to create form properties such as lists, choices, and fields with autocomplete.

Tip: You can add or change the form input of a workflow in either DRAFT or PUBLISHED status.
