Workflow run manually how to add parameters

henk_stobbe — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 11:36:53 GMT

Hello,

Another basic workflow question.

If I want to test my workflow manually, and I am depending on parameters that should be given in a POST trigger.

I need to provision this in my code like:

if param is empty then set a test value?

If you're talking about the On demand trigger, providing parameters is currently only possible via the API, but unfortunately not (yet) in the UI.

As Christian stated this is planned to provide not only an option via the UI but also set default input parameters.
Meanwhile / as a general best practice, you can also use default values when using them via the "default" filter (see bottom of the doc Expression reference - Dynatrace Docs)
Eg: {{ execution().input.my_var | default('my default value') }}
