Workflow Deployment

Discussion Details

Hello Community!

The workflow_dispatch limit was recently updated from 10 to 25 input parameters (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/8774)

This is already not enough 😓 The original discussion cited complex environments, I'd like to cite "just things other people are doing that weren't accounted for."

I think you'll be chasing the right "max" indefinitely unless you remove the limit. I'd personally like to have at least 100 input parameters.

The workarounds here are:

• N individual actions that need to be triggered on their own with a lot of things baked in that would be nice to be able to tune when deploying
• [as per the original discussion] Using a file.json to input the parameter limits and the devs have to change this every single pull request or push.

I'd prefer not to get lost in the specifics of my particular use case or what I could do instead. I know what I can do instead 😄 Starting the discussion because I'd love to be able to use workflow_dispatch and I expect a pile of the people on the original discussion have use cases that would benefit from more than 25 input parameters.
